2009 Alfa Romeo 159 1.9L Diesel · WN09 SVP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 9 February 2023 at 198,052 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car met all safety and environmental standards at that time. While a failure occurred in early February 2022 at 186,076 miles, the immediate pass on the re-test 15 miles later suggests the owner addressed the specific fault promptly without significant delay. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,650 miles per annum. Between November 2019 and February 2021, the car covered 3,007 miles, representing a period of lower usage. However, usage increased significantly in the following two years, with 21,844 miles recorded between February 2021 and February 2023. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which typically places predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension components typical of a high-mileage Italian Alfa Romeo chassis. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front subframe and suspension bushings, as these are common areas for structural corrosion and mechanical fatigue on this model. Given the vehicle is nearing 200,000 miles, checking for oil leaks around the engine and excessive play in the control arms is essential. Since the last MOT was recorded over three years ago relative to the current date, a fresh inspection is required required to ensure that no significant corrosion or brake caliper issues have developed since the 2023 test.
