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 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 18,278 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in critical safety systems warrants significant caution.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,836 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 825-mile increase in March 2026 is unusual.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS suspension defect on 2025-07-15 (Offside Front Lower Suspension arm) — a major safety failure.
- Recurring suspension arm advisories (Jul 2022) escalated to DANGEROUS failure
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2027-03-05, offering immediate peace of mind.
