2007 Alfa Romeo 159 Lusso JTS 4X4 3.2L Petrol · WN07 XUS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in December 2025 at 84,816 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, despite a technical failure in November 2025 just 14 miles prior. Since the record shows no recorded defects for that specific failure, it likely stemmed from an administrative non-conformity or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,464 miles per year. There is a significant six-year data gap between September 2019 and November 2025, during which the car covered only 7,671 miles. This pattern of infrequent use suggests long periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of the low mileage. The lack of advisories across the earlier tests from 2017 to 2019 indicates the vehicle remained in good mechanical condition during its primary period of use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the 4x4 drivetrain and suspension system, as low-mile vehicles that sit stationary often suffer from perished rubber bushings and seized brake calipers. The tester should check for corrosion on the brake discs and fluid lines, as infrequent use prevents the natural clearing of the metal surfaces. Given the age of the Alfa Romeo, a thorough check of the structural integrity for rust in the sills and wheel arches is essential, as the MOT record does not provide detail on surface-level corrosion progression between tests.
