2021 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Sprint TD AWD Auto 2.1L Diesel · HK21 AHN

A relatively clean roadworthiness profile defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 04 August 2026 showing a pass with no recorded defects. The history shows a transition from a failure in May 2024 regarding headlamp aim to a period of minor advisories, eventually reaching a clean result in the latest inspection. While the 2024 failure required adjustments to the nearside and offside headlamp aim, the absence of any mechanical or structural defects in the most recent test suggests that the primary issues identified previously have been addressed. The recorded mileage of 36,896 miles over approximately five years indicates an average annual usage of roughly 7,379 miles. This represents a typical usage pattern for a modern diesel SUV, suggesting the vehicle has not been subject to excessive high-speed motorway mileage nor has it been left stationary for extended periods. Mechanically, this level of accumulation means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-mileage wear thresholds, consumables such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes will be at a stage where they require regular monitoring. The advisory recorded in May 2025 specifically highlighted both nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit, with particular mention of inner edge wear. This specific pattern of inner edge wear can sometimes be an indicator of incorrect wheel alignment or camber issues. During a test drive, you should pay close attention to whether the vehicle pulls to either side under braking or when cruising on a straight road, and listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming noises from the rear which could indicate uneven tyre wear or suspension movement. Given the previous failure regarding headlamp aim, it is advisable to verify that the headlight leveling function operates correctly, especially if the vehicle is equipped with automatic leveling. On your inspection, check that the beam pattern is consistent and does not flicker or drop significantly when the vehicle is subjected to road vibrations. While the latest MOT is clear, the history of tyre wear suggests that a thorough check of the rear suspension bushings and alignment settings would be a prudent step to ensure the vehicle maintains its intended handling characteristics.
