2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · EY11 XOE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent recorded test in November 2021 at 159,296 miles passed despite several advisories regarding thin rear brake pads, worn discs, and a broken brake pad sensor. Since no MOT has been recorded for over four years, the current state of these safety-critical components is unknown. The lack of recent data suggests the vehicle may have been stationary or the owner has neglected the annual safety testing requirement. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a car of this age, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap of nearly 19,000 miles recorded between October 2018 and November 2019, followed by a period of steady use. However, the mileage has only advanced by 3,000 miles between November 2020 and November 2021. This suggests the car was used infrequently in recent years, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion despite relatively low overall mileage. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the suspension geometry and alignment. The records from October 2018 and November 2019 highlight recurring instances of tyres wearing bald on the inner edges and a worn Macpherson strut pin or bush. These faults point to persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushings that will continue to destroy tyres if addressed. Furthermore, the braking system requires a thorough check. The 2021 test flagged rear discs and pads as nearing the end of their life just before the four-year gap in testing, meaning these components are likely beyond replacement or seized from disuse.
