Alfa Romeo Alfasud Ti S (1981)
1981 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Ti S
CarHunch is tracking 109 1981 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Ti S vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1981 Alfasud TI S has never passed an MOT in the 109 vehicles we've analysed — a stark contrast to the 80% UK average — which tells you these cars are either non-functional, off the road, or undergoing restoration rather than in active use. The absence of recorded failures, advisories, and dangerous defects suggests the dataset captures largely static or project vehicles rather than ones being driven regularly, so this data doesn't reflect real-world reliability of a roadworthy example.
At 43 years old, any surviving Alfasud is a classic car enthusiast's project, not a practical daily driver, and you should expect comprehensive mechanical work before any road use. If you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection done by someone familiar with 1980s Italian cars, because MOT records won't help you — your own mechanic's eye will be the only reliability guide that matters.
We have 109 1981 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Ti S 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 1981 Alfa Romeo Alfasud Ti S
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.
