Is the Brera disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 2,883 in 2014 Q3 and stand at 1,264 in 2026 Q1, down 56%. That is down 39% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 829 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 2,093 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Brera MOT pass rate

In 2024, 64.3% of 1,407 Alfa Romeo Brera MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average.

• Brake Performance — 8.5% of tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
• Springs — 8% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
• Exhaust Emissions — 6.5% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
• Suspension Arms — 4.8% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.

• Ask why it was off the road — Of the 2,093 Brera vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (829 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
• Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 56% from the 2014 Q3 peak of 2,883. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
