2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · NL63 AEE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑02‑04 at 73,699 miles with no defects recorded. The preceding test on 2025‑06‑23 at 70,837 miles was passed but carried an advisory for rear coil‑spring corrosion (5.3.1(b)(i)). A failure on 2025‑06‑19 at 70,813 miles noted the same coil‑spring issue and a front headlamp intensity fault. Earlier years show repeated tyre and suspension failures, but the pattern has stabilised and the latest test is clean. Overall the maintenance trend is improving, with only a minor, recurring corrosion advisory remaining. Mileage accumulation is low for a 13‑year‑old car, averaging roughly 5,700 miles per year to reach 73,699 miles. The MOT entries are spaced annually, the most recent being five months before today, confirming regular testing. Earlier gaps, such as the jump from 52,860 miles in June 2021 to 56,275 miles in June 2022, reflect modest usage but also highlight periods where tyre and suspension wear were not addressed until later failures. A buyer should inspect the rear coil spring for corrosion, the front suspension arm bushes for excessive wear, and the front brake discs and pads for thinning. Check the rear tyres for ply exposure and the front tyres for cracks or uneven wear, as several tests flagged ply‑exposed rear treads and structural tyre damage. Verify that the child‑seat belt area is unobstructed and examine the chassis and exhaust for rust. Finally, test the front headlamp dipped beam for full intensity, given the previous severe reduction fault.
