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

This 2008 Alfa Romeo has 21 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 16,996 miles. The extremely low annual mileage and a 2020 service gap also warrant careful consideration.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,863 miles per year, with a significant 2020 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings.

Things to check

  • Recurring DANGEROUS defects: Offside Front Wheel stud(s) loose (May 2013) and Offside Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (Aug 2022).
  • Recurring MAJOR defects: Offside Front Brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (May 2013) and Offside Front Wheel stud(s) loose (May 2013).
  • Recurring ADVISORY defects: Front brake disc worn, pitted or scored (May 2013) and Offside Front Upper Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn (Aug 2022).
  • 2020 SERVICE GAP: No MOT recorded for 2020, indicating potential SORN or off-road use.

Working in its favour

  • Recent clean MOT pass (Aug 2024) with no current failures or advisories.
  • No recent DANGEROUS or MAJOR defects recorded on the latest MOT.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage, shows no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2017) indicates a safe and well-designed vehicle.
