2006 Alfa Romeo Brera 2.2L Petrol · SL56 YJB

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, characterized by repeated failures immediately preceding successful tests. In the most recent March 2025 test, the car passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just two days earlier on 22 March 2025. This pattern of failing and then passing shortly after is also evident in the March 2024 records, where the vehicle failed on 8 March 2024 before passing on 13 March 2024. While the most recent result is clean, the recurring need for retests suggests intermittent issues with components that do not meet minimum standards during initial inspection. The recorded mileage of 108,861 miles over a 20-year period averages approximately 5,443 miles per year. This represents relatively low annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided do not show specific mileage increments for each individual test, making it impossible to track the exact rate of accumulation between the 2023, 2024, and 2025 inspections. However, the low total mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, though it does not rule out the possibility of the car standing for extended periods. Because the MOT history shows failures without specific defect descriptions, the exact nature of the previous mechanical issues remains unknown. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, as well as the braking system to check for binding calipers or worn discs. Given the vehicle's age and the pattern of recent failures, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and underside is essential. The lack of recorded advisories in recent years suggests that issues are being addressed through retests rather than being flagged for preventative maintenance. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
