2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · FD65 CEO

The 2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 December 2025 at 49,208 miles. The sole advisory recorded at that most recent test, rear brake pads wearing thin, is a routine consumable item rather than a structural or mechanical failure. The preceding test on 2 December 2024 at 42,348 miles was entirely defect-free, indicating the previous owner addressed the offside rear tyre wear noted in December 2023. This pattern of resolving advisories between tests suggests attentive, if not meticulous, ongoing care rather than neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car accumulated just 6,860 miles between December 2024 and December 2025, a sharp increase from the 3,293 miles covered in the prior year and the 7,291 miles between December 2022 and December 2023. This uneven accumulation points to a period of very light use or potential standing, followed by a recent uptick in regular driving. The overall average of roughly 4,473 miles per year is well below the UK typical of 8,000 to 12,000 miles annually, which reduces wear on major mechanical components but raises questions about the condition of rubber seals, tyres, and the exhaust system from prolonged static periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system, given the recurring advisory on rear pads. Check the condition of the rear brake discs for scoring or lipping and verify whether the rear calipers are binding, a common issue on the Giulietta platform that accelerates pad wear. The offside rear tyre wear noted in 2023, while resolved, warrants a close look at the rear suspension geometry. Inspect the rear suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wishbone joints for play, as uneven tyre wear often traces back to worn alignment components rather than simple neglect. Examine the offside front area for any residual dampness or fluid ingress, referencing the 2022 advisory that could not be sourced. Finally, inspect the underside for corrosion on the subframe, suspension mounting points, and exhaust system, as low-mileage vehicles that have stood for extended periods can develop surface rust that compromises structural integrity over time.
