If you own or are considering buying a 2009 Alfa Romeo Unclassified, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to identification of the vehicle: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet).

Identification of the vehicle — 2.9% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 2.9% of MOT failures on 2009 Alfa Romeo Unclassified models. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
Noise, emissions and leaks — 2.9% of failures
Noise, emissions and leaks issues account for 2.9% of MOT failures on 2009 Alfa Romeo Unclassified models. Emissions failures occur when exhaust gases exceed legal limits for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), or particulate matter (diesel). Common causes include faulty oxygen sensors, clogged catalytic converters, or DPF issues on diesel vehicles. Typical repair costs: £100–1,000+. Pre-MOT check: If the engine management light is on, get it diagnosed before the MOT. For diesel cars, ensure the DPF has completed a regeneration cycle. Regular servicing and using premium fuel before the test can help.
Steering — 2.9% of failures
Steering issues account for 2.9% of MOT failures on 2009 Alfa Romeo Unclassified models. Steering failures include excessive play in the steering wheel, leaking power steering fluid, worn track rod ends, and damaged steering rack. These affect vehicle control and are closely related to suspension wear. Typical repair costs: £150–600. Pre-MOT check: Check for excessive steering wheel play (more than a few inches of free movement). Listen for whining from the power steering pump. Look for fluid leaks under the car near the front wheels.
