Insight summary

Alfa Romeo Spider is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 2,771 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 75.0% from 21,479 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 57. The current pool shows an average of 78,118 miles and an average age of 24.6 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 78,118 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are parking brake, braking components and lighting. The practical read is that the Alfa Romeo Spider looks a little better than average, but still rewards careful checks on mileage and maintenance.
