Alfa Romeo 164 Lusso (1990)
1990 Alfa Romeo 164 Lusso
CarHunch is tracking 390 1990 Alfa Romeo 164 Lusso vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1990 Alfa Romeo 164 Lusso has a 0% first-time pass rate—far below the UK average of 80%—which is a stark red flag for any prospective buyer. None of the 390 vehicles analysed passed their MOT without requiring work, meaning every single car in this cohort needed repairs to meet the legal standard.
The complete absence of reliable examples in the dataset, combined with a median CarHunch score of just 50, suggests these cars are now at an age and condition where mechanical failure is virtually universal. If you're considering one, budget for immediate remedial work and have a pre-purchase inspection by an Alfa specialist, because there are no exceptions in this sample.
We have 390 1990 Alfa Romeo 164 Lusso 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 1990 Alfa Romeo 164 Lusso
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.
