Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no critical defects in the most recent 2025-08-28 MOT at 28,732 miles. However, recurring tyre perishing on both front outer edges since 2022 indicates a persistent issue likely linked to storage conditions or insufficient rotation. No structural corrosion, brake system failures, or suspension component wear was recorded in the latest test, suggesting the car has been maintained to meet legal standards. The absence of advisories in the 2021 MOT and minimal defects in subsequent years implies consistent, if not proactive, upkeep. The mileage of 28,732 miles over eight years equates to approximately 3,592 miles annually, significantly below average for a vehicle of this age. This low usage may explain the minimal drivetrain wear but raises concerns about tyre longevity, as perishing typically accelerates in vehicles with infrequent use. The 2022 windscreen damage (3.2 (a) (i)) was resolved by 2023, and no major mechanical issues emerged between 2021 and 2025. The MOT history lacks gaps, with annual tests confirming compliance, though the recurring tyre faults suggest a pattern of neglect in consumable maintenance. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the front tyres for further cracking, assessing their age and replacement history, and checking for uneven wear that might indicate suspension bush wear or alignment issues. The 2022 windscreen repair should be verified, and the brake system inspected for caliper binding or disc warping, as tyre perishing can sometimes correlate with braking inefficiencies. While the chassis and exhaust show no signs of corrosion, the low mileage warrants scrutiny of fluid levels and belt conditions, which may degrade without regular operation.

Our Verdict

This 2018 Alpine A110 Premiere Edition Auto is a strong buy for an enthusiast, with a clean MOT pass record across all six annual tests and modest mileage for its age. The only recurring advisories relate to cosmetic front tyre ageing, which are easily managed and do not indicate structural or mechanical faults.

When negotiating, use the recurring front tyre cracking advisories (noted at every test from 2023 to 2025) to request part-exchange or a discount for a fresh pair of front tyres, as these will need replacing soon. Confirm the service history is complete for the 1.8cc turbocharged engine and dual-clutch automatic gearbox, as Alpine's specialist servicing intervals are critical and absent service records will hurt resale. Given no model aggregate data is available, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection by an Alpine-trained technician to verify the chassis and suspension, which are unique to the lightweight A110 design.

As a 1798cc petrol performance coupe, the A110 Premiere Edition is not cheap to run: real-world fuel economy is modest and insurance groups for Alpine sports cars are high, with road tax reflecting its emissions profile rather than a low band. Maintenance must be done through marque specialists, so routine servicing will cost more than a mainstream hatchback, and tyres for its specific fitment are premium-priced. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance are likely in the region of £2,500 to £3,500 given limited production support and performance positioning.

Inspect the front tyres closely — MOT records show outer-edge cracking and perishing on both sides at the 2023 (24,943 miles), 2024 (26,594 miles) and 2025 (28,732 miles) tests, so check for depth and sidewall integrity before purchase. The 2022 MOT at 22,441 miles noted a windscreen chip not affecting view; examine the screen for any spread of damage that could now require replacement. With no aggregate model data, also verify the brake discs and suspension arms for wear unusual to the A110's aluminium structure, and confirm the auto gearbox changes smoothly across all modes.

The vehicle (registration AY17PNE, first registered August 2018) has covered just 28,732 miles as of its most recent MOT in August 2025, well below typical use for an eight-year-old performance car. Every MOT from 2021 to 2025 resulted in a pass, with no failures recorded and only minor advisories such as slightly perished front tyres and a non-view-obstructing windscreen mark in 2022. As a blue 1.8-litre petrol Premiere Edition auto, it represents a low-mileage, well-kept example of a limited-run model, though no aggregate reliability data exists for this specific variant.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Alpine A110 Premiere Edition Auto, so buyer caution on unseen long-term faults is reasonable despite this example's clean history.
