2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · DN60 ADV

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy. The most recent MOT from 12 May 2023 passed at 231 534 miles, yet the test has been expired for over three years, leaving the car without a valid certificate. The preceding 2022 entries show a failure on 5 May followed by a pass four days later at the same mileage, indicating an unresolved issue that was quickly rectified but never followed by a subsequent test. Mileage accumulation has been aggressive. Between the May 2022 tests the car added 12 612 miles in roughly a month, and the annual average since registration approaches 14 500 miles per year. This rate far exceeds typical usage for a 16‑year‑old model and suggests heavy duty cycling of consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension components. The gap between the 2022‑05‑09 pass and the 2023‑05‑12 pass, and the subsequent absence of any further MOT entries, leaves a three‑year data void that hampers a full wear‑trend assessment. A prospective buyer should inspect the braking system for binding calipers, uneven disc wear and adequate pad thickness, as the high mileage and the brief 2022 failure point to possible brake‑related wear. Suspension bushes, coil springs and trailing‑arm mounts should be examined for corrosion or excessive play, given the mileage‑driven stress on the chassis. The exhaust and under‑floor areas need close scrutiny for rust and structural degradation, common in high‑mileage Alfa Romeos. Tyre tread depth and condition are critical, as rapid mileage accumulation will have accelerated wear; a visual check of the sidewall for cracks and a measurement of tread depth will reveal whether the tyres are within safe limits. Finally, verify that the 2022 failure was fully addressed and that the vehicle can obtain a current MOT, as the three‑year gap in testing represents a significant roadworthiness risk.
