2007 Alfa Romeo GT 1.9L Diesel · RV57 LAA

The MOT history for this Alfa Romeo GT reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. In the most recent recorded test in August 2022 at 164,856 miles, the vehicle passed only after addressing significant failures. That failure identified multiple critical safety issues, including a fractured wheel, exposed tyre cords, a rear tyre below the legal tread depth limit, and an inoperative parking brake. The tester also noted mechanical wear in the nearside front suspension, specifically worn bushes and ball joints, alongside a noisy wheel bearing. While these were rectified to pass, the presence of a binding rear service brake suggests ongoing issues with the caliper or slider mechanism. The vehicle has covered 164,856 miles over 19 years, averaging approximately 8,677 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with a vehicle of its age, yet there is a concerning gap in the records. The last recorded MOT was performed in August 2022, and given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is nearly four years overdue for its annual safety test. This lack of recent data makes it impossible to verify the current state of the suspension, braking system, or structural integrity, which were already showing signs of degradation years ago. Previous records indicate a history of recurring component failures, such as the defective exhaust mounts and headlamp alignment issues noted in 2021. A buyer should be extremely cautious regarding the front-end geometry, particularly the nearside suspension assembly, as the ball joints and bushes identified in 2022 are likely to have deteriorated further. The previously noted binding brake and noisy wheel bearing require a thorough physical inspection to ensure they have not progressed toward failure. Without a recent MOT or comprehensive service history, the vehicle carries a high risk of undisclosed mechanical wear and safety-related faults.
