2008 Alfa Romeo GT 1.9L Diesel · EX58 HVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs and escalating structural degradation. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 132,646 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior due to a multitude of defects including brake inefficiency, a split CV boot, and suspension wear. The persistence of an oil leak and power steering seepage across multiple tests since 2023 suggests that the owner addresses only the minimum requirements necessary to pass the MOT rather than performing comprehensive preventative maintenance. The recorded mileage of 132,646 miles over 18 years represents an average of approximately 7,370 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 7,200 miles covered between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,100 miles between December 2024 and 2025. This steady usage has not prevented the vehicle from significant age-related wear, particularly on the chassis. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the structural integrity of the sills and mounting points, as the 2024 record explicitly noted corrosion and holes in both outer sills. This type of rust is a known weakness in this model and often progresses rapidly if not treated. Furthermore, the recurring issues with the nearside front suspension arm bushes and offside rear top mounts indicate that the suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life. The buyer should also verify the inner drive shaft boot for further tearing, as the previous failure in 2024 suggests the rubber components are prone to premature failure.
