2009 Alfa Romeo 159 1.9L Diesel · AP09 EBG

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on 5 August 2025 at 70,183 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This followed a failure just two weeks prior on 22 July 2025 at 70,182 miles, though the record shows no specific defects for that failure suggesting a minor issue was rectified immediately or the re-test cleared a previous administrative or minor sensor error. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,128 miles per year. Data shows a period of minimal use between 2022 and 2024, where the car covered only 364 miles over two years. However, a significant increase in usage occurred between July 2024 and August 2025, with nearly 5,000 miles clocked in just thirteen months. This pattern of intermittent use is common in older-age vehicles often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage Italian cars are prone to corrosion on subframes and rear arches. Check for signs of perished rubber boots and worn front control arm bushes which often fail when a vehicle sits stationary. Given the age, inspect the brake system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as infrequent use can cause surface rust and uneven wear. The clean MOT history suggests the previous owner addressed immediate requirements requirements, but the low mileage necessitates a thorough check for age-related material decay.
