2002 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0L Petrol · SK02 ALF

The 2002 Alfa Romeo Spider holds a clean roadworthiness status following the most recent DVSA test on 26 June 2025 at 57,620 miles, where the examiner recorded a pass with no defects. Five consecutive annual tests from 23 June 2021 through 26 June 2025 returned passes and zero advisories. The maintenance trend is stable, showing neither worsening faults nor resolving issues across the record. Mileage climbed from 51,747 miles at the June 2021 test to 57,620 miles by June 2025, a gain of 5,873 miles over four years. That equates to roughly 1,468 miles per year in the recent period, far below typical use for a 24-year-old car averaging 2,401 miles annually overall. Testing stayed punctual each summer. Light use suggests long storage spells rather than neglected upkeep. Testers flagged no corrosion, suspension wear or brake defects, yet age demands physical verification. Standing periods can cause calipers to bind and suspension bushes to perish without visible failure on a lifted ramp. We recommend hands-on checks of coil springs, brake discs and structural integrity around sills and subframes for hidden rust. The spotless advisory list implies previous owners met statutory obligations but did not necessarily renew consumables early. Tyre sidewalls, exhaust emissions and wiper blades may show degradation from inactivity distinct from high-mileage fatigue. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent despite the reassuring MOT chronology.
