2018 Alfa Romeo 4C 1.7L Petrol · GD18 CUA

The 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C presents a clean and stable maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 27 April 2026 at 16,734 miles passed with zero defects, continuing an unbroken five-year streak of first-time passes with no advisories or failures. This pattern indicates consistent mechanical care and no emerging faults. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Annual accumulation averages roughly 2,092 miles, with increments between tests remaining tight: 491 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, and 491 miles again between March 2025 and April 2026. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests stretches to thirteen months rather than the usual twelve, yet the mileage increase remains modest. Such low annual use suggests light recreational or seasonal driving, which limits wear on consumables but raises the question of prolonged standing periods that can affect tyre sidewall age, brake surface corrosion, and fluid condition. Despite the spotless MOT record, a buyer should still inspect components that MOT testing does not fully stress on a mid-engined sports car of this type. Check the condition and date stamps of all four tyres, as low-mileage vehicles often need replacement due to age rather than tread depth. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing, and assess the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish through age rather than mileage. Inspect the exhaust system and mountings for corrosion, and verify that the engine and gearbox operate smoothly under load, as short journeys and infrequent use can accelerate moisture build-up in oil and coolant systems.
