2007 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.2L Petrol · SB07 UAD

The vehicle is in excellent roadworthiness condition, with the most recent MOT passed on 11 September 2025 at 23,010 miles showing no defects whatsoever. This continues a clear trend of flawless results across five consecutive tests since 2021, indicating consistent, attentive maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The recorded mileage of 23,010 over 19 years equates to an average of just over 1,200 miles annually, which is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. The annual increments between tests are steady and minimal—ranging from 416 to 932 miles per year—with no sudden spikes or long gaps in testing. The absence of any mileage anomalies suggests the car has been used sparingly, likely as a weekend or seasonal vehicle, with no evidence of odometer tampering or extended periods without official inspection. Given the low usage and clean MOT history, major components such as the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain show no signs of accelerated wear. However, prolonged inactivity increases the risk of degraded rubber components—such as brake hoses, suspension bushes, and engine mounts—along with potential fuel system deterioration or battery failure. The convertible top and its sealing mechanisms should be inspected for dry rot or cracking, as these are common failure points on older Spiders that see infrequent use. There is no record of corrosion or structural defects in the MOT history, but a thorough underbody check for rust around wheel arches, sills, and rear suspension mounts is still essential, as moisture retention in stored vehicles can cause hidden corrosion. A buyer should verify fluid condition, especially brake fluid and coolant, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. The clutch and timing belt, though not part of the MOT, should be confirmed as recently replaced if the service history is unavailable. The absence of advisories across five tests is reassuring, but low-mileage cars often suffer from neglect in non-mandatory maintenance areas.
