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 71% pass rate and 31,192 miles. However, a significant pattern of recurring suspension failures and advisories, including a recent failure in 2022, indicates a history of structural neglect.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 9,950 miles/year, with a notable drop in annual usage from 12k to 5k miles between 2023 and 2025.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension failures: 5 major failures across 2019, 2022, and 2023 MOTs.
  • Recent suspension failure: Failed MOT on 2022-11-30 for rear Macpherson strut bush, then passed 2022-11-30.
  • High mileage for age: 31,192 miles in 18 years suggests higher wear on components.
  • Multiple tyre advisories: Nearside Front Upper Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (2023-12-01).

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2017): 5-star safety rating.
