Alfa Romeo GTV — MOT Reliability Overview

The Alfa Romeo GTV has an average MOT pass rate of 73.2%, which is 9.8 percentage points below the Alfa Romeo brand average of 82.9%. This is a reasonable result that reflects typical UK reliability standards. Regular servicing and addressing advisories promptly will help keep your GTV on the road.

The most common reasons a Alfa Romeo GTV fails its MOT are vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is seriously reduced, parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement, the strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired. If you are preparing your GTV for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.

Before buying a used Alfa Romeo GTV, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
