2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce TB Auto 2.0L Petrol · FE71 URA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on January 17, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the failure just two days prior to that test indicates a specific recent oversight. The tester flagged the offside front outer tyre for a structural bulge at 15,428 miles, a serious safety defect that the owner addressed immediately to secure the subsequent re-test pass. The car shows exceptionally low mileage for its age, covering only 15,433 miles over five years. This averages to approximately 3,000 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK national average. There is a notable gap of over 9,300 miles between the December 2024 test and the January 2026 test, suggesting the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for signs of flatspotting or cracking, as the recent structural failure suggests the rubber is subject to age. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting, and the calipers should be tested for binding if the car has not been driven frequently. Additionally, the suspension bushes and bushings should be examined to ensure the lack of use has not caused the material to perish or crack over time.
