2002 Alfa Romeo 156 2.5L Petrol · WV02 DLF

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 March 2025 at 131,759 miles. The sequence of four consecutive passes from March 2022 to March 2025 indicates a stable maintenance trend, with the isolated failure on 7 March 2022 resolved without recorded defects. Mileage has risen modestly for a 24‑year‑old car. The odometer recorded 122,724 miles on 7 March 2022, increasing to 126,563 miles by 27 March 2023 (+3,839 miles), then to 129,904 miles on 22 March 2024 (+3,341 miles), and finally to 131,759 miles on 19 March 2025 (+1,855 miles). This averages roughly 2,250 miles per year over the last four years, well below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting limited usage or periods of inactivity rather than high wear. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, checking bushings and coil springs for any play or corrosion that may not have surfaced in the MOT. Inspect brake discs and pads for even wear and ensure there is no binding in the calipers, as these items can deteriorate despite a clean MOT record. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, and look for any surface rust or structural rust on chassis members. Finally, confirm that exhaust emissions are within limits and that fluid levels, battery health, and overall drivetrain noise are satisfactory, as these areas can hide issues not captured by the recorded tests.
