2007 Alfa Romeo Brera 2.4L Diesel · WM07 NXV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the maintenance history suggests a period of recent inactivity. The most recent recorded MOT test on 29 March 2022 at 113,946 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car met the minimum safety standards at that time. However, the vehicle has not undergone a test in over four years, leaving its current roadworthiness status unverified. This significant gap in testing increases the risk of undetected degradation in mechanical and structural components that occur when a vehicle sits stationary. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between March 2020 at 106,421 miles and March 2022 at 113,946 miles, the car covered only 7,525 miles over two years. This low usage suggests the vehicle was likely used sparingly or sat for extended. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to secondary issues such as brake corrosion, seized calipers, and perished rubber components in the suspension due to age. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focused on the effects of long-term storage. Given the four-year lapse since the last MOT, the inspector should check for heavy corrosion on brake discs and ensure the calipers are not binding. The chassis and suspension points require a close examination for structural rust, which is common on Alfa Romeo models of this era regardless of mileage. Because the record shows no advisories in the final pass, the lack of recent data makes it impossible to determine the condition of suspension bushes or the integrity of the exhaust system.
