2007 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.4L Diesel · PA07 AFV

The 2007 Alfa Romeo Spider presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 183,710 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 30 August 2024 examination at 180,071 miles produced both a fail and a pass on the same day with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The 1 September 2023 test at 177,381 miles and the 2 August 2022 test at 176,136 miles also passed clean. Across the five-year span the vehicle cleared every effective examination without advisories, indicating consistent baseline compliance. Recorded mileage rose from 176,136 in August 2022 to 183,710 by August 2025, an increase of 7,574 miles over three years or roughly 2,525 miles per year. That figure sits well below the approximate 9,669 annual average for the vehicle's age. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps beyond the usual twelve-month cycle. Low recent use may have limited wear on consumables yet allowed moisture-related corrosion to develop unseen on brake discs, suspension bushes, or structural members. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe, sills, and suspension mounting points for structural rust, as the MOT data offers no visibility on hidden corrosion. The same-day fail and pass in August 2024 warrants confirmation that no brake binding, exhaust leak, or emissions irregularity was suppressed by a retest. Given the car's 183,710 miles, expect aged coil springs, worn dampers, and tired flexible brake hoses even though the tester logged no advisories.
