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 presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 12 March 2026 at 44,167 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories across the entire recorded history indicates a car kept in excellent mechanical order. This consistent record suggests diligent upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a five-year-old performance saloon. Between the March 2024 test at 31,798 miles and the March 2025 test at 38,845 miles, the car covered 7,047 miles. The subsequent year saw a slightly lower accumulation of 5,322 miles, bringing the total to 44,167 miles by March 2026. This steady, sub-10,000-mile annual trajectory rules out the excessive wear associated with high-mileage executive running, while also confirming the vehicle has not been left standing for extended periods, which can cause its own issues like seized brakes or perished rubber. With zero recurring faults or structural advisories on record, the MOT history offers no specific mechanical red flags to target. However, a high-performance BMW Alpina demands a rigorous physical inspection regardless of its clean paperwork. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for any signs of deterioration, alongside measuring the thickness of the brake discs and checking for binding calipers, as high-torque components suffer disproportionately during spirited driving. The structural integrity of the underbody requires scrutiny for corrosion, particularly around the subframes and suspension mounting points. Tyre condition and date codes also warrant attention, as low annual mileage often leads to age-related rubber degradation rather than tread wear.

Our Verdict

This is a strong candidate for a buyer s

When viewing this 2.9L petrol Alpina, prioritize checking the full service history to ensure the high-performance engine has been maintained according to manufacturer specifications. Given the mileage of 44,167, verify that major service items or fluid changes due to time/mileage intervals have been completed.

Negotiate based on the 2024 MOT advisory regarding the windscreen damage; ensure this was professionally rectified and not merely a minor chip. As with all high-performance vehicles, check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as these are common wear items that can be costly on this specific model.

Running this 2993cc petrol engine will involve higher-than-average costs. Expect significant fuel consumption typical of a high-performance Alpina, and insurance groups for this model are generally high due to the engine size and performance capability.

Maintenance costs for Alpina components can be premium. While the MOT history shows no current defects, budget for higher-than-average servicing and tyre replacement costs. Estimated annual running costs are likely to be substantial.

Inspect the windscreen thoroughly to ensure the damage noted in the March 2024 MOT has been fully resolved. Check for any signs of stone chips or cracks that could lead to future MOT advisories.

Given that 'tyre' and 'parking brake efficiency' are top failure reasons for this model aggregate, perform a detailed check of the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and test the electronic parking brake engagement. Additionally, check the brake system for any signs of leaks, as 'brake pipe' issues are a common failure reason in the wider model data.

This 2021 BMW Alpina, finished in grey, has covered 44,167 miles since its first registration in March 2021. The MOT history shows three recorded tests, with the most recent two passing without any defects. While a windscreen issue was noted in 2024, the vehicle's recent records suggest no recurring mechanical or structural issues.

Based on an analysis of 1,851 vehicles, this model has an 87.2% average MOT pass rate, with common failures related to tyres and braking systems.
