2007 Alfa Romeo 159 1.9L Diesel · EN07 ADO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT on 21 January 2022 at 175,925 miles passed with no defects recorded, yet the vehicle has not undergone a formal inspection in over four years. This lapse means the current state of the braking system, emissions components, and structural integrity remains unverified and likely suffers from wear since the last recorded mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. Between October 2018 at 161,896 miles and January 2022 at 175,925 miles, the car covered roughly 14,000 miles, indicating a steady usage rate. The failure on 25 January 2021 at 173,867 miles, followed by a pass just three days later, suggests a minor, rectifyable issue such as a blown bulb or a minor component failure that was addressed immediately, rather than indicating a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components given the vehicle's age and the high recorded mileage. Alfa Romeo 159 models are prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and wisharm mounting points which should be checked for structural thinning or heavy rust. Since no tests have occurred since 2022, the buyer should also inspect for binding brake calipers, perished rubber bushings, and signs of fluid leaks that may have developed during the four-year period of inactivity or continued use.
