2007 Alfa Romeo Spider 3.2L Petrol · AV57 PZL

The 2007 Alfa Romeo Spider presents a stable and highly favorable maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 at 51,472 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without compromise. This unbroken string of clean certificates over the last five years demonstrates consistent mechanical care and a lack of developing faults. The recorded mileage is notably low for a vehicle approaching its nineteenth birthday, averaging just 2,709 miles annually. The MOT history confirms this gentle usage pattern, showing steady but minimal accumulation rather than rapid spikes. Between the December 2021 test at 43,782 miles and the November 2025 test at 51,472 miles, the car covered a mere 7,690 miles over four years, averaging under 2,000 miles per year. Such low mileage suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly, likely for short trips or occasional weekend driving, rather than sitting entirely dormant. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for age-related deterioration rather than mechanical wear. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished suspension bushes, binding brake calipers from lack of use, and degraded tyre sidewalls due to age rather than tread wear. Given the Alfa Romeo Spider's open-top design, a thorough inspection of the roof mechanism and water drainage channels is essential to prevent electrical issues or structural rust. Examine the underbody and sills closely for corrosion, as standing for extended periods can accelerate rust formation in box sections and suspension mounting points.
