2007 Alfa Romeo 159 2.4L Diesel · WM07 NXJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the MOT history indicates a pattern of intermittent failures. The most recent recorded test on 14 December 2021 at 91,335 miles resulted in a failure with no listed defects, suggesting a specific mechanical issue was rectified immediately following the test. Given that the current date is June 2026, the vehicle is over four years overdue for its annual MOT, which renders the current mechanical condition unverified without a fresh inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between July 2019 at 86,859 miles and September 2020 at 90,581 miles, covering only 3,722 miles over fourteen months. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber-based components, fluid seals, and surface corrosion on brake lines and suspension subframes. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the Alfa Romeo 159 is prone to front arm bushing wear and rear caliper seizing. The recurring failures in 2019 and 2020 suggest the previous owner may have been addressing faults only when prompted by test failures rather than performing preventative maintenance. Pay close attention to structural integrity along the sills and rear wheel arches, as low-mileage cars from this era often hide hidden rust caused by moisture retention during periods of inactivity.
