2008 Alfa Romeo 147 1.9L Diesel · FN58 YAK

The Alfa Romeo 147 passed its most recent MOT on 16 November 2022 at 104,433 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no recurring mechanical faults or advisories. The two failures recorded immediately before the passes on 14 November 2022 at 104,390 miles and 10 November 2021 at 93,977 miles show no defects logged by the tester, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than genuine roadworthiness concerns. The odometer stood at 94,038 miles for the November 2021 pass and rose to 104,433 miles by November 2022, giving roughly 10,395 miles in twelve months against an overall average near 5,800 miles per year since 2008. This single year of above-average use breaks a generally low-mileage pattern for an eighteen-year-old car. The record is sparse, with only four entries and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across any test. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's 2008 build date and the absence of any advisory data to confirm those areas were sound. The clean defect list offers no evidence of binding calipers, exhaust emissions faults, or worn tyres, yet the twin failures with no recorded defects suggest the previous owner may have presented the car poorly or retested without rectification, so verifying test authenticity and current condition remains prudent. Given the last test fell over three years before today's date, the MOT has since expired and the car must not be driven on public roads without a fresh pass. Prior to any purchase, a qualified technician should confirm brake operation, suspension condition, and emissions against the low recorded mileage that may mask deterioration from long standing periods.
