2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · FC16 ABU

The most recent MOT on 24 July 2026 at 43,304 miles passed, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy, though the pattern of minor faults suggests a stable but not improving trend. The tester noted front brake disc wear and a near‑side front suspension arm pin or bush showing wear without excessive movement, both of which have been recurring themes over the past two years. Mileage has risen from 20,767 miles in June 2019 to 43,304 miles in July 2026, averaging roughly 4,300 miles per year – well below typical usage for a ten‑year‑old car. No sudden spikes appear between tests; the increments are consistent, reflecting light duty rather than high‑stress operation. The low mileage aligns with the limited wear observed on major drivetrain components. A prospective buyer should give close attention to the tyre condition, as rear tyres have repeatedly been flagged for cracking or perishing and an off‑side front tyre suffered a structural tear in 2023. Verify current tread depth and inspect sidewalls for any signs of delamination. Examine the brake system: front discs continue to show wear, rear discs were noted as pitted and pads thin in 2025, so confirm disc thickness and pad condition. Finally, check the near‑side front suspension arm pin or bush for play, and ensure the TPMS warning light is off, as a slight brake bind was recorded in the 2025 test. No structural rust or major mechanical failures have been reported, but a visual inspection of the chassis and under‑body for corrosion is prudent.
