2007 Alfa Romeo Brera 2.4L Diesel · LS07 FXM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in January 2026. The maintenance trend appears relatively stable, though the most recent inspection indicates a mechanical development that was previously absent. While the car passed its two prior tests without defects, the latest entry at 137,417 miles flagged an offside rear service brake binding. This suggests a sticking caliper or slider pin issue that requires attention to prevent uneven pad wear. At 137,417 miles over 19 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,232 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable three-year gap in records between the November 2021 test at 118,559 miles and the January 2024 test at 131,185 miles. Since that period, the vehicle has seen more consistent use of roughly 6,000 miles annually, suggesting a regular but light usage pattern that helps mitigate the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system given the recent binding issue recorded in January 2026. The failure in January 2024 due to exposed cords on both front tyres indicates that the previous owner neglected basic consumable maintenance until a safety failure was imminent. Given the age of the Alfa Romeo, a physical inspection must also check for structural corrosion on the rear suspension mounting and underbody, as these areas were not highlighted in the recent history but remain common points of failure for this specific chassis.
