2023 Alpine A110 GT Auto 1.8L Petrol · AM18 ROO

The most recent DVSA MOT, carried out on 28 February 2026, returned a full pass with no recorded defects or advisories. With only a single MOT entry for a three‑year‑old vehicle, there is insufficient data to indicate any deterioration or improvement in condition; however, the clean result suggests that the car has been maintained to a standard that satisfies the statutory safety and emissions criteria at the time of testing. At 7 702 miles the Alpine A110 GT is averaging roughly 2 600 miles per annum, which is markedly below the typical usage pattern for a high‑performance roadster. Such low annual mileage often points to infrequent, gentle driving or extended periods of storage. While reduced wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and clutch components is a benefit, prolonged inactivity can promote rubber perishing, corrosion of brake discs and calipers, and electrolyte depletion in the 12‑volt battery. For a prospective buyer the primary physical inspections should focus on age‑related degradation rather than mileage wear. Examine the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or hardening of the rubber compound; even with ample tread, tyres older than six years should be considered for replacement. Inspect the battery terminals and assess the state of charge, as a battery that has spent long periods idle may have reduced capacity and could fail shortly after purchase. Check the under‑carriage and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion, especially around the suspension mounting points and brake discs, which can develop surface rust when the vehicle is stationary for months. Verify that the service book contains stamps for the scheduled oil, coolant and brake‑fluid changes, as these fluids degrade with time irrespective of distance travelled. During a test drive listen for any irregularities that might betray hidden wear: a faint clunk when traversing bumps may indicate deteriorating suspension bushes or worn coil‑spring mounts; a pulsating or shuddering sensation under braking could reveal warped brake discs or uneven pad wear; and any hesitation or judder from the automatic gearbox should be noted, as it may signal the need for a transmission fluid service. Confirm that all electronic aids, such as traction control and stability systems, operate correctly, and request a recent inspection report or diagnostic scan to ensure that no latent fault codes are stored in the vehicle’s control modules.
