1996 Alfa Romeo 155 2.0L Petrol · D2 ABM

The Alfa Romeo 155 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 June 2024 at 73,885 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run across the available history. The recorded mileage shows very low use for a 30-year-old vehicle. From the 23 April 2022 test at 71,518 miles, the car covered just 1,405 miles to the 22 May 2023 test at 72,923 miles, then only 962 miles to the June 2024 test. That averages roughly 962 to 1,400 miles per year against the lifetime mean of about 2,463, confirming long periods of standing rather than regular daily use. The three-year MOT sequence is sparse but entirely clean, with no advisories or failures logged. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for age-related issues the MOT does not capture. Long static periods on a 1996 chassis invite corroded suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and structural rust beneath sills and arches. Check tyre sidewall cracking and flat spots from standing, and verify the exhaust emissions system remains sound given the low annual mileage. Given the absence of recorded faults, previous keepers appear to have stored the car rather than neglected basic upkeep. Confirm fluid conditions, brake disc surface pitting, and coil spring integrity before purchase, as these wear differently under infrequent use.
