AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Alfa Romeo 159 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 16 October 2025 at 171,924 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The tester recorded no defects at that test. This clean result follows a failed attempt on 11 October 2025 at 171,899 miles where, unusually, no specific defect was logged by the DVSA system, suggesting an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical 11,462 per year for a 2011 vehicle now showing 171,924 miles. The records show steady accumulation: 159,939 miles at the October 2023 tests, 165,869 miles by October 2024, and 171,924 by October 2025. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The data is sparse on advisories, with every pass and both failures carrying no recorded defects, so the file offers little insight into wear on consumables or structure beyond the odometer. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and high mileage, as these items commonly degrade without triggering MOT advisories on this model. The twin October 2023 entries, a fail and pass on the same day at 159,939 miles with no defects noted, hint at possible retest handling rather than resolved faults. The unexplained failure on 11 October 2025 just five days before the pass at near-identical mileage warrants a check of the test centre paperwork. Verify the vehicle has not carried hidden corrosion or exhaust emissions issues that were cleared off-system. Otherwise the chronological record implies consistent if undocumented upkeep.
