# Alfa Romeo Alfetta MOT reliability: pass rate and common failures | RegFlags

The Alfa Romeo Alfetta passed its MOT first time 92% of the time, but from only 38 MOT tests, so treat it as a rough guide. See pass rates by year, common failures and typical mileage.

- First-time MOT pass rate: 92%
- MOT tests analysed: 38 (DVSA anonymised MOT data, 2025)
- Most common failure area: Body, structure & corrosion
