Used Alfa Romeo Key Risk Statistics in the USA (2024–2025)

Key Risk Impact on Buyers Mitigation Steps
Theft Risk Alfa Romeo thefts rose 8% while nationwide thefts fell 17% in 2024. Enable Stellantis' "Secure Gateway," add aftermarket GPS cut-off.
Unrepaired Safety Recalls 22% of Alfa recall VINs remain unfixed after 18 months (NHTSA dashboards). Run VIN through EpicVIN & schedule free dealer repair.
Depreciation Over Time 5-year value drop averages 44.6% vs 37% luxury-segment mean. Negotiate aggressively. Alternatively, purchase a CPO with an extended warranty.
Odometer Rollback Fraud CARFAX estimates 2.1M rollback cases nationwide. Alfa ranks in the top ten per-unit rate. Compare mileage across NMVTIS, service, and auction logs.
Hidden Flood or Salvage History 6.3% of Alfa VINs in listings show prior salvage/flood branding (EpicVIN auction scrape). Pull full history & frame inspection before purchase.

Risk Reduction: Minimize risks: Decode the VIN number on the chassis and cross-check it with documents. Use the EpicVIN report for liens and unexpected brands. Discuss any found issues with the seller before payment.

How to Read an Alfa Romeo VIN Number

VIN Description

Each Alfa Romeo VIN's character tells a specific story.

  • WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier - Positions 1-3): Car assembler and country of origin.
  • VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section - Positions 4-9): Body style, engine type and size, and check digit based on a mathematical formula for VIN validation.
  • VIS (Vehicle Identifier Section - Positions 10-17): Model year designation, assembly plant model code showing production location, and serial number unique to each vehicle.

There are some other details that Alfa Romeo owners and buyers should know:

  • Modern U.S. Alfas always start with "ZAR" - "Z" for Italy, "A" for Alfa, "R" for Romeo.
  • Position 5 "N" marks the 2.0-L turbo-four. "B" marks the 1.3-L PHEV setup.
  • Alfa uses position 7 to encode the restraint type. "3" = dual front, "6" = full side-curtain package.
  • A VIN with "ZZ" at positions 4-5 marks a factory-authorized cut-and-stretch prototype.

Alfa uses a two-digit engine letter-plus-check scheme at positions 4-5 - not common among other Stellantis brands.

Here's how our Alfa Romeo VIN decoder interprets a sample sequence (ZARBB42N6P7005942):

Symbols Sample What It Reveals
1 Z Italy as the country of origin
2 A Alfa Romeo as a brand
3 R Romeo designation
4-8 BB42N Stelvio body style, engine type, restraint system, model code, and trim level
9 6 Check digit for validation
10 P 2023 model year
11 7 Cassino assembly plant
12-17 005942 Individual vehicle serial number
