2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · EF62 LDA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. The most recent test in December 2025 at 152,286 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years were addressed, and the car currently maintains a high standard of operational compliance with DVSA requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per annum. Data shows steady usage, particularly between December 2021 and December 2022 where the car covered over 12,000 miles. There is a notable drop in usage between late 2023 and late 2024, where only 907 miles were recorded. This suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally benefits in maintaining drivetrain components and preventing the issues associated with long periods of standing. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and tyres, given the recurring faults noted in 2021 and 2022. The tester flagged thin front brake pads in two consecutive years, and the 2022 test specifically identified edge wear on both front inner tyres alongside a nail in the offside rear. While these issues appear resolved, a buyer should verify the current pad thickness and check for alignment issues that may have caused the previous uneven tyre wear. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is also advisable to ensure no significant structural fatigue has developed.
