About This Data
The 2007 Alfa Romeo Unclassified has an MOT pass rate of 65.5% based on 87 tests — slightly above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 89,137 miles on the odometer. With a 34.5% failure rate, the 2007 Unclassified is rated as "Good" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 2007 Alfa Romeo Unclassified, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to suspension: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks. With an average mileage of 89,137 miles, these vehicles are in the higher-mileage bracket where wear-related failures become more common.
Suspension — 6.9% of failures
Suspension issues account for 6.9% of MOT failures on 2007 Alfa Romeo Unclassified models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 4.6% of failures
Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 4.6% of MOT failures on 2007 Alfa Romeo Unclassified models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Noise, emissions and leaks — 3.4% of failures
Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 3.4% of MOT failures on 2007 Alfa Romeo Unclassified models. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.
