2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · EN15 UAL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in September 2025 at 40,511 miles identified failures for a non-functional central rear stop lamp and a nearside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. While these are minor consumable and electrical faults, the recurrence of the stop lamp issue seen in 2023 suggests a pattern where basic electrical checks are overlooked until the annual test occurs. The mileage profile is significantly low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2022 and September 2023, where the car covered only 1,343 miles in a full year. Since then, usage has increased steadily, covering nearly 9,300 miles over the last two years. This low-frequency use often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain but can also lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake seals, which may dry out during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on signs of uneven tyre wear, as the 2025 advisory regarding edge-wear could indicate a tracking alignment issue or worn suspension geometry. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently affect vehicles that sit stationary. The record shows no structural corrosion issues or serious mechanical failures, suggesting the chassis remains sound, provided the owner addresses the recurring electrical and tyre requirements identified in the most recent inspections.
