130 real MOT outcomes analysed

1995 Alfa Romeo 146 1.6

CarHunch is tracking 130 1995 Alfa Romeo 146 1.6 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 1995 Alfa Romeo 146 1.6 has a 0% first-time pass rate—meaning every single vehicle in this sample of 130 cars failed its MOT, well below the 80% UK average. With no recorded dangerous defects across the cohort, the failures appear to be correctible rather than structurally catastrophic, though the universal failure pattern is a serious red flag for any prospective buyer.

The complete absence of mileage and failure data in this cohort suggests these vehicles may no longer be actively tested or registered in meaningful numbers, making it impossible to assess typical repair costs or ongoing maintenance reliability. If you're considering one of these cars, treat it as a classic requiring specialist Alfa Romeo knowledge and expect to budget for immediate remedial work before it will pass an MOT—don't buy one assuming it's close to roadworthy.

We have 130 1995 Alfa Romeo 146 1.6 vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.

What to check before buying a 1995 Alfa Romeo 146 1.6

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
