Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a diese
When inspecting this specific grey Giulietta, focus on the underside and suspension components. Although the 2023 MOT noted play in the rear anti-roll bar joints and a deteriorated nearside front drive shaft boot, these issues were not flagged in the subsequent 2024, 2025, or 2026 tests. You should verify that these specific repairs were actually carried out to prevent future CV boot or suspension noise issues.
Given the diesel engine and the mileage exceeding 100,000 miles, ask for evidence of regular oil changes and timing belt/water pump replacements. Since the 2022 MOT recorded a nail in a tyre, check the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life, as tyres are a common failure point for this model aggregate.
The 1.9L/2.0L diesel engine is generally designed for efficiency on longer journeys, which aligns with the vehicle's higher-than-average mileage. Expect moderate fuel economy suitable for motorway commuting.
Tax and insurance will vary depending on the specific insurance group, but as a 2016 diesel, buyers should check the current ULEZ/CAZ compliance status for their area. Maintenance costs for Alfa Romeo models can be slightly higher than mainstream brands like Ford or Volkswagen, particularly for specialist parts. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance, sit in the mid-range for this segment.
Pay close attention to the drive shaft area and the rear suspension. The 2023 MOT history specifically highlighted a severely deteriorated nearside front drive shaft CV boot and play in the rear anti-roll bar ball joints. Even though these passed in later years, a physical inspection for grease leakage around the boots or knocking sounds over bumps is essential.
Additionally, check the condition of the tyres. The model aggregate data shows tyres as a top failure reason, and this specific vehicle has a recorded history of tyre-related issues (a nail in 2022). Ensure there is no uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues.
This 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta features a 1956cc diesel engine and has covered 103,771 miles as of August 2026. While it has seen significant use, the most recent three MOT tests have been completed with no recorded defects. The vehicle's history shows a transition from minor mechanical advisories in 2023 to a clean record in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta shows an average MOT pass rate of 79.0% across the analysed sample, with common issues relating to headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms.
