How Alfa Romeo 2021 compares

Alfa Romeo’s 2021 first-time MOT pass rate of 76% sits above the UK national figure of 64% for that period. Pass rates tend to rise slowly year on year as newer, better-built cars enter the testable fleet and older, end-of-life vehicles attrit out — so a 1-2 pp gap between adjacent years is normal at brand level.
