1996 Alfa Romeo 145 2.0L Petrol · P503 CTH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 17 March 2023 at 122,017 miles passed with no defects or advisories, mirroring the clean result from the 2022 test. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical failure during the testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of thirty years age, averaging approximately 4,067 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the car covered only 1,319 miles. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to periods of inactivity. The three-year gap since the last recorded MOT means the current roadworthiness status is unverified and requires a fresh test immediately. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on structural integrity of the chassis and bodywork. Older Alfa Romeo models are prone to structural corrosion in the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans, which may not be fully apparent in a standard MOT if not specifically flagged. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake calipers for seizing, as the low annual mileage often results in these components sticking over time.
