2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · BF11 UPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred suspension and brake repairs. The most recent test in January 2026 at 98,973 miles shows the car passed despite multiple advisories related to worn brakes and suspension components. While the vehicle has passed its tests, the recurring nature of faults such as thinning brake pads and worn suspension bushes suggests that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached a point of failure or significant advisory rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 8,500 miles between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, followed by nearly 9,300 miles covered between November 2024 and January 2026. This recent uptick suggests regular use, but the low annual mileage has not prevented the degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces, which is typical for an age-related Alfa Romeo. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the offside front arm ball joint and coil spring have been flagged across three separate testing periods. The tester noted a fractured spring in late 2024, and the 2026 report highlighted corrosion on both rear coil springs, indicating the structural integrity of the suspension assembly is beginning to degrade. The rear braking system requires immediate attention as the discs are pitted and scored while the pads are thin, a condition that has persisted in every test since late 2023.
