2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.9L Petrol · DW03 DAN

The 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 9 June 2026 at 57,507 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly improving, with the most recent test showing only minor advisories for nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit and on their edges. This is a marked contrast to the 2024 test, where front tyres were flagged as wearing on edges badly, suggesting the previous owner addressed the underlying issue, likely through improved alignment or suspension component renewal, before the latest test. The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT with no major mechanical or structural failures across its entire recorded history. The mileage accumulation of approximately 7,188 miles per year is entirely typical for an eight-year-old vehicle, indicating regular and consistent use rather than prolonged standing or exceptionally high annual mileage. The record shows a steady progression from 13,166 miles in May 2022 to 57,507 miles in June 2026, with no significant gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings. The two earliest tests in 2022 and 2023 both noted undertrays fitted, preventing a full inspection, which is a common fitment on this model and does not necessarily indicate concealment, though it does limit the depth of those particular assessments. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry and wheel alignment. The recurring advisory pattern on front tyre edge wear, appearing in both 2024 and 2026, points to a persistent alignment or suspension bush wear issue that may not have been fully resolved. Inspect the inner edges of all four tyres in person, and check for uneven wear patterns on the rear axle as well. The front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and drop links should be examined for play, as these are common wear items on the Stelvio that directly affect tyre scrub. The undertrays noted in 2022 and 2023 should be removed for a thorough inspection of the underside, particularly around the subframe, steering rack, and exhaust system, where corrosion can develop unnoticed on performance SUVs. Brake condition should also be verified, as the record contains no specific brake-related advisories but the vehicle's weight and driving character place consistent demand on discs and pads. Overall, the MOT record reflects a vehicle that has been looked after, but the front tyre wear pattern warrants a focused mechanical inspection before purchase.
