2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.1L Diesel · CA55 WAC

A consistent record of roadworthiness is punctuated by recent brake wear and a historical failure related to tyre depletion. While the vehicle passed its most recent inspection on 2026-05-22, the emergence of pitted and scored rear brake discs indicates a need for imminent component replacement. This follows a period of clean tests between 2023 and 2025, though a failure in September 2022 highlighted simultaneous wear across all four tyres and a non-excessive oil leak. The recorded mileage of 42,090 miles over approximately seven years represents a typical annual accumulation of roughly 6,013 miles. This usage pattern suggests a balanced load on the drivetrain and suspension components, avoiding the risks associated with prolonged standing or excessive high-mileage wear. However, the consistency of the mileage does not preclude the degradation of rubber components or the development of surface corrosion on braking surfaces, as evidenced in the test history. Attention should be directed toward the braking system, specifically the rear discs flagged in the May 2026 test. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or pulsations under braking, which often accompany scored or pitted discs. The previous record of all four tyres being worn on the edges suggests a potential misalignment or suspension geometry issue that should be verified by inspecting the current tread depth and wear patterns across the inner and outer shoulders of the tyres. The oil leak noted in 2022, while described as non-excessive at the time, warrants a physical inspection of the engine bay and the underside of the vehicle. Check for fresh oil misting or residue around the gaskets and sump to determine if the leak has persisted or worsened. Ensure the engine is checked for any signs of active seepage that could impact long-term structural integrity or contaminate other engine bay components.
