2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1.4L Petrol · FJ69 HDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 52,808 miles passed despite a defect involving a damaged brake cable. This follows a clean record in September 2024 at 46,956 miles, suggesting that while the car remains mechanically sound, the owner has focused on addressing faults only when they fail inspection. The recorded mileage of 52,808 miles over seven years represents an average of approximately 7,544 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a modern vehicle. The data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with a gap of roughly 6,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 8,000 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary use which helps prevent the degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and tyre geometry following the September 2023 failure at 38,853 miles. That test flagged both front tyres as being close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The structural failure of the offside rear tyre due to a lump further points to a lapse in pre-test inspections, as such bulges are often visible before a blowout occurs. In-person inspection should also verify the condition of the brake cable mentioned in the September 2025 report to ensure the replacement was thorough. While there are no records of structural corrosion or binding calipers in the history, the focus should remain on the consistent wear of the tyres and the integrity of the front end components to ensure the Alfa Romeo maintains its intended handling characteristics.
