2016 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA2.1L Diesel

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is indeterminate due to a critical lack of recent data. The last recorded MOT test occurred on 20 December 2021, meaning the car has no valid certification for over four and a half years. While that final test at 38,492 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, the absence of any testing since late 2021 suggests the vehicle has been dormant or neglected. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 3,849 miles per year. The records show the vehicle remained virtually stationary between 17 December 2021, when it failed, and 20 December 2021, when it passed, with only one mile added to the odometer. This stagnation, combined with the long gap in testing leading up to July 2026, indicates the car has likely suffered from prolonged periods of standing. A buyer must prioritise a comprehensive mechanical inspection to address the risks associated with long-term inactivity. Brake calipers frequently seize and discs corrode when a vehicle sits unused, so checking for binding brakes is essential. The rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, may have perished or developed flat spots despite the low mileage. The engine and drivetrain require scrutiny for fluid degradation and battery failure. A full service is necessary to replace oil and filters that have likely broken down over the last few years. Given the lack of recent MOT data, a thorough check for structural corrosion and a leak-down test on the engine are mandatory before this vehicle can be considered roadworthy.
