2009 Alfa Romeo Brera 2.4L Diesel · WN09 SVL

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a maintenance trend that appears reactive rather than preventative. While the car passed its most recent recorded test in April 2022 at 136,204 miles, it did so with a multitude of advisories indicating a state of deferred mechanical upkeep. The persistent presence of oil leaks and coolant leaks from 2019 through 2022 suggests a long-term issue with engine seals or gasket integrity that has not been adequately addressed by previous owners. At 136,204 miles over 17 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical low-intensity usage. However, there is a significant gap in the data, with the last recorded MOT occurring in April 2022. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is four years overdue for a safety test. This lack of recent data is highly irregular and makes it impossible to verify the current state of the drivetrain, suspension, or braking system after an unknown accumulation of several thousand miles. A physical inspection must focus on the recurring mechanical failures identified in the history. The tester repeatedly flagged oil leaks and engine mounting issues, with the bottom rear engine mount being noted in poor condition in 2022; a buyer should check for excessive engine vibration or movement which indicates rubber failure. The braking system shows a history of pitted and scored discs on both axles, which often indicates long periods of sitting or a lack of cleaning to prevent corrosion. Furthermore, the consistent pattern of inner tyre wear across multiple years (2018 to 2022) suggests alignment issues or worn suspension geometry components that require professional diagnosis.
