- What is the GVRI for the Alfa Romeo 156?
- The Alfa Romeo 156 has a Gera Vehicle Risk Index (GVRI) of 67/100 (High Risk), computed from 8,892 DVSA Anonymised MOT class-4 (car) normal tests in 2016. The UK fleet average GVRI is 37/100. A GVRI of 0 = lowest risk; 100 = highest.
- What is the MOT fail rate for the Alfa Romeo 156?
- The Alfa Romeo 156 MOT fail rate is 46.9% based on 8,892 class-4 normal MOT tests recorded by DVSA in 2016. This means 46.9% of tests resulted in a 'Fail' outcome. The UK class-4 normal test fail rate across the fleet is 25.0%.
- Is the Alfa Romeo 156 a high-risk car to insure?
- The GVRI of 67/100 places the Alfa Romeo 156 in the High Risk band, above the UK fleet average of 37/100. Higher GVRI means higher mechanical defect risk from real MOT data, which correlates with claim risk. However, insurance premiums also depend on driver profile, postcode, NCB, annual mileage, and policy type — the GVRI is one indicator, not a premium quote.
- How is the Gera Vehicle Risk Index calculated?
- GVRI = 0.6 × MOT_fail_rate + 0.4 × avg_defect_severity_norm, min-max scaled 0–100. MOT fail rate = failed tests ÷ total class-4 normal tests. Defect severity = mean severity of 'F' items per failed test (1 = standard failure, 3 = dangerous item). Full methodology on the GVRI methodology page. Source: DVSA 2016 data, OGL v3.0.
