In 2025, 62.1% of Alfa Romeo GTV MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Alfa Romeo GTVs tested pass 61.0% of the time, so the Alfa Romeo GTV does better than average for its age, by 1.1 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 63.4%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

Brakes is the most common reason a Alfa Romeo GTV fails its MOT, appearing on 53.2% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%. 8.2% of Alfa Romeo GTV tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.
| Defect category | Share of failed tests |
|---|---|
| Brakes | 53.2% |

The single most common reason a Alfa Romeo GTV failed its MOT in 2025 was “Parking brake efficiency below requirements”, on 33.7% of 421 failed tests. 54.9% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Coil spring: corroded”. The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.
DVSA lists 3 safety recalls for the Alfa Romeo GTV since 1992, the first in 1996. The most recent was launched on 10 March 2000.
All 3 Alfa Romeo GTV recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Alfa Romeo GTV. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
