Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your attention on the recurring oil leak mentioned in the 2023, 2025, and 2026 MOT records; ensure the source is identified and quoted for repair. You should also request evidence of the timing belt replacement interval, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine variant that is not captured in MOT data.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the immediate need for a new rear exhaust box and a fresh set of tyres. The August 2026 MOT specifically flags the nearside front tyre as having a damaged sidewall and three tyres as being worn close to the legal limit.
The 1.7L petrol engine will incur moderate fuel costs and typical insurance premiums for a coupe of this era. Tax will be based on the 2008 CO2 emissions for this engine size.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific vehicle due to the ongoing issues highlighted in the MOT history. Budget for the replacement of the corroded exhaust and the resolution of the persistent oil leak to avoid further degradation.
Perform a thorough underside inspection to locate the oil leak flagged in three separate MOT tests (2023, 2025, 2026) and check the condition of the rear exhaust box, which is described as rusty. Inspect the tyres carefully, paying close attention to the nearside front sidewall damage and the inner edge of the offside rear tyre.
Check the front brake discs for pitting or scoring, as these have been flagged as worn or pitted in every MOT test from 2023 through 2025. Finally, verify the stability of the front suspension, following the 2025 failure regarding the offside front upper suspension arm bush.
This black 2008 Alfa Romeo GT has covered 86,865 miles. The MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring advisories, specifically regarding oil leaks, brake disc wear, and exhaust corrosion. Although it passed its most recent test in August 2026, several tyres are noted as worn or damaged.
