AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2011 Alfa Romeo has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 63,080 miles. The mileage trajectory is highly irregular, with suspiciously low usage in recent years.

The vehicle shows a significant drop in annual mileage from 21,890 miles (Jun 2019) to 1,578 miles (Dec 2024), then only 1,578 miles (Jan 2026), indicating a drastic change in usage.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in brakes (Nov 2023, Jan 2026) and suspension (Nov 2021, Jan 2026).
  • High mileage accumulation (179,300 mi by Jun 2019) followed by suspiciously low usage (1,578 mi in 2025).
  • Multiple DANGEROUS defects recorded, including a tyre cut in Dec 2014.
  • Engine oil advisory recurring across multiple tests (Nov 2020, Nov 2021, Nov 2023).

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until January 2027, offering immediate peace of mind.
  • No recent MOT failures, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • Consistent high initial mileage suggests regular use and maintenance.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates good safety features.
