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 roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 67,612 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met minimum standards following immediate rectifications. While the record shows failures on the days preceding the passes in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that minor, transient issues are addressed quickly rather than deep seated mechanical failures developing. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,612 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,200 miles. This usage pattern is consistent across the last three years, with 2,996 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 3,074 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. Such low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of inactivity can lead to rubber degradation, dry seals, and brake fluid contamination. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as Alfa Romeo models of this era are prone to premature component fatigue despite low mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, check for binding calipers or corrosion on brake discs which often occur when a car sits stationary. Additionally, inspect the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches to ensure that the low usage has not masked hidden corrosion that typically develops over a decade.
