ALFA ROMEO GT2006 · 1.9L DIESEL

The roadworthiness of this Alfa Romeo GT is questionable due to a lack of recent certification and historical neglect. While the last recorded test passed in March 2020 at 140,039 miles, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT in over six years. The maintenance trend leading up to that point shows a pattern of structural and mechanical decline, culminating in a significant failure in March 2020 where multiple critical issues including a major exhaust leak, emissions failures, and suspension failures were identified. The vehicle has covered 140,039 miles over approximately twenty years, averaging roughly 7,000 miles per annum. This usage profile is consistent with a vehicle of its age, yet the data set ends abruptly in 2020. There is no evidence of the vehicle's condition in the last half-decade, which is a major red flag for a car from 2006. The absence of recent records suggests the car has either been stationary for long periods or operated off road, both of which increase the risk of rubber degradation and fluid leaks. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the front sub-frame, which was flagged as seriously weakened in 2019 and merely corroded in 2018. Given the time elapsed, this corrosion has likely progressed to a point of structural failure. The buyer should also examine the front suspension arm bushes and ball joints, which failed for excessive wear in the 2020 test. The recurring mention of pitted and scored rear brake discs across multiple years indicates a reactive rather than preventative approach, necessitating a thorough check of the entire braking system and exhaust manifold.
