1999 Alpina 3.3L Petrol · V283 DNU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 137,909 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a period of instability in late 2025. The car failed two consecutive tests on 16 October and 30 October 2025 before finally passing. While the specific defects for these failures are not listed in the provided data, the rapid succession of tests suggests a struggle to rectify specific faults before the final pass. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 27 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,108 miles per year. Between 18 October 2023 and 12 November 2025, the odometer moved from 136,361 to 137,909 miles. This represents a gain of only 1,548 miles over two years. Such low annual usage often indicates a vehicle that has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to perished rubber components and seized calipers. A physical inspection should focus on areas typically affected by long periods of inactivity. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion. The low mileage suggests the drivetrain has seen little wear, but the buyer must verify the health of the brake discs and pads to ensure they have not pitted or seized. Inspect the chassis and sills for structural rust, as low-mileage classics often suffer from corrosion if stored in damp environments. Given the two failures in October 2025, a technician should verify that whatever faults caused those failures were permanently resolved rather than temporarily patched.
