Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint Td Owners

These checks follow this Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint Td's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint Td.

  • the brakes — “brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick”

    Look through the spokes of each wheel at the pad — less than 3mm of friction material, or a lip on the disc edge, is the usual failure. Check the handbrake holds on a slope with a few clicks, not at the top of its travel.

  • the lights — “malfunction indicator lamp inoperative or indicates a malfunction”

    Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

  • the tyre tread — “tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm”

    Check all four tyres cold, including the inner shoulder where wear hides — 1.6mm across the central three-quarters is the legal limit, and most testers fail at 1.6mm without argument.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint Td. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
