Around 25% of the recorded Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint Td failures fall in the Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment section of the MOT inspection manual. Testers recorded "Registration plate lamp(s) inoperative in the case of multiple lamps or light sources" (2.2%), "Headlamp aim too low" (1.1%), "Rear reflectors defective or damaged by up to 50% of the reflecting surface" (1.1%) among the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint Td's lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment faults.

| Year | Tests | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 Stelvio Sprint Td | 92 | 92.4% |
Newest model year first. Only years with at least 50 recorded tests are listed.
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.
92.4% of the 92 recorded Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint Td MOT tests ended in a pass, +11.4 percentage points above the national average. 91.8% of those passed on the first attempt.
