2007 Alfa Romeo 159 2.4L Diesel · WU07 YLM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2023 at 115,882 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the car met the minimum safety standards at that time. While a failure occurred in September 2022, the immediate retest pass three days later suggests a minor, easily rectified issue was addressed quickly rather than a pattern of mechanical neglect or structural decline. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per annum. Between October 2020 and October 2023, the car covered 5,124 miles, reflecting a low-intensity usage profile. This low mileage often reduces the wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, though it can increase the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. Since the last MOT was recorded nearly three years ago, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and a fresh inspection is mandatory to ensure no significant mechanical faults have developed during the long interval between tests. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the Alfa Romeo's known weak points that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or perished rubber. Examine the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear arches, as these areas are prone to rust over two decades. Because the record is clean, check for oil leaks around the engine bay that may have appeared since the last recorded test.
