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 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 14,388 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2024-02-29, which is highly irregular.

The mileage trajectory shows a suspiciously low 83 miles/year equivalent before Feb 2023, followed by a 23-mile increase to 90,389 miles by March 2023, indicating a major data integrity issue.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in 4 separate tests (2012, 2023) — immediate safety risk.
  • Mileage anomaly: 83 miles/year equivalent before Feb 2023, then 23 miles in 14 months — fraud indicator.
  • MOT status 'Not valid' with expiry 2024-02-29 is highly irregular for an 18-year-old vehicle.
  • Major electrical failure recorded in April 2019, no subsequent advisory or resolution noted.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • No recurring failures on the same system across multiple tests.
  • The 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars is a positive for safety.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage history.
