2012 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · DY62 DHF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in October 2025, but the report reveals a concerning pattern of deferred maintenance. The primary risk is a chronic issue with the suspension. Both rear coil springs have been flagged for corrosion in every single MOT entry since October 2023. Because this has persisted as an advisory or failure for three years without being rectified, it suggests a lack of preventative care. The overall condition trend is worsening. While the car continues to pass, the list of required work is growing. The most recent test now adds worn rear tyres and thinning front brake pads to the long-standing suspension issues. Previous failures involving a worn front suspension ball joint and an inoperative power steering system further highlight a history of steering and suspension wear. The mileage is typical for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, which suggests regular use rather than extreme hard wear or long periods of standing. However, the recurring corrosion on the springs indicates the car may have been exposed to harsh road salt or lacked basic underbody protection.
