2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · EY11 XOX

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile, with the maintenance history indicating a period of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent record from November 2021 at 151,696 miles shows a failure for an upper coolant leak hose at the rear of the engine. While the car passed that inspection, there has been no recorded MOT data for nearly five years as of the current date in June 2026. This suggests the vehicle is significantly overdue for its test and the current mechanical state is entirely unknown and potentially degraded. The mileage pattern of 151,696 miles over 15 years averages to approximately 10,100 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for this age. However, there is a notable gap in data between June 2018 and August 2019, where the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles in just fourteen months. The failure in August 2019 at 130,310 miles reveals a severe lapse in basic maintenance, including a split CV boot, a structurally failed tyre with a bulge, and rear brake pads worn to the legal limit. The failure to complete the emissions test due to excessive smoke levels further indicates significant engine management or fuel system issues at that time. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the cooling system, given the documented leak identified in 2021. The previous history of a split drive shaft joint boot suggests that rubber components and suspension bushes may be nearing the end of their functional life due to age. Given the five-year lapse in MOT records, it is critical to check for structural corrosion on the chassis, perished hoses, and fluid degradation that occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The emissions failure in 2019 also warrants a check of the catalytic converter and fuel injectors to ensure the underlying fault was properly resolved.
