2010 ALFA ROMEO BRERA1.7L PETROL

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT in March 2026, though it carries an advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. While the car had a clean record in 2023 and 2024, the condition trend worsened significantly by March 2025. That year, the vehicle failed on a wide range of mechanical issues, including play in the steering rack inner joint, split and worn front lower suspension arm ball joints with free play, and binding rear brakes. The low mileage of approximately 5,208 miles per year suggests the car has seen light use or may have spent periods standing. This is supported by the 2025 MOT evidence of tyres that were not just worn, but perishing and cracking on the shoulders, which is a common sign of age-related degradation rather than just tread wear. The pattern indicates a shift from a well-maintained state to one where multiple critical components deteriorated simultaneously. Although the major steering and suspension faults were rectified to achieve a pass in 2025, the recurring tyre advisories suggest a lack of proactive maintenance on consumables. A buyer should first inspect the current condition and age of all four tyres, looking specifically for sidewall cracking. Given the previous failures, a thorough check of the steering rack and front suspension components is essential to ensure the repairs were carried out to a high standard and are holding up.
