2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.7L Petrol · EX16 ACJ

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend over the last seven years. The most recent test in March 2026 at 64,941 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester noted minor restrictions regarding seat belt inspections due to fitted child seats. Prior to this, the Alfa Romeo maintained a clean record with no recorded defects for five consecutive years, suggesting a consistent level of mechanical upkeep and preventative care by previous owners. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression from 23,205 miles in early 2019 to the current 64,941 miles in early 2026. This low annual mileage typically implies less mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage counterparts, though the intervals between tests can sometimes mask aging of rubber-based components or fluid degradation if the car has sat for extended periods. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the braking system, as the March 2026 test identified both front and rear brake discs as worn. While these did not cause a failure, they indicate that the components are approaching the end of their operational life and will require replacement soon. It is vital to check the pad thickness and any signs of caliper binding or uneven wear. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also advisable, as these parts can perish or fatigue over time regardless of low mileage.
