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

This 2012 Alfa Romeo has 17 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 71,778 miles. While mileage is consistent, the sheer volume of past failures and advisories indicates significant wear and potential future costs.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 11,922 miles per year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, though a 2019 and 2024 MOT gap exists.

Things to check

  • Engine oil advisory present in 7 separate MOT tests (Aug 2021, Aug 2022, Aug 2023, Apr 2025, Apr 2026).
  • Exhaust system failures and advisories recorded in 4 separate MOT tests (Dec 2018, Aug 2021, Aug 2022, Apr 2025).
  • Tyre wear advisories escalated to dangerous defects in Apr 2025 and Aug 2023, indicating chronic neglect.
  • Five test failures across 12 MOTs, with 7 of those failures being major or dangerous.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 6 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until April 2027, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
