2017 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · BW17 AXB

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 5 November 2025 at 61,795 miles, which is relatively recent given today's date. However, this pass came with a specific advisory for the offside rear tyre, which was recorded as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. Since this advisory was issued approximately seven months ago, it is highly likely that this tyre now requires immediate replacement to remain road legal and safe. The history reveals a significant safety failure in October 2024 where the nearside front road wheel fixing was listed as missing. This is a critical defect that creates a severe risk of a wheel detaching while driving. The car passed a retest later the same day, confirming the missing part was refitted or replaced, but this type of failure suggests potential lapses in basic maintenance or safety checks prior to the MOT. Aside from the wheel fixing incident, the overall mechanical trend appears stable, with several years of clean passes and no recurring defects recorded. The mileage progression is consistent and roughly typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging around 6,866 miles per year. The last annual mileage increase was higher than previous years at just over 10,000 miles, which aligns with the tyre wear now becoming evident and indicates the car is in active use rather than standing idle. When inspecting this car, you must prioritize a close examination of all tyre tread depths, particularly the offside rear, and check for uneven wear patterns on the edges.
