2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · FN60 LVC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 15 May 2026, but this followed a critical failure just three months earlier. The primary risk is structural. In February 2026, the car failed due to excessive damage to the nearside rear suspension mounting area and sill, which was noted as significantly reducing structural strength. This is a serious red flag indicating either severe corrosion or previous impact damage. The condition trend is worsening. The car had clean passes in 2023 and 2024, but the most recent entries show a sharp increase in safety and structural defects, including a fault with the supplementary restraint system (SRS) and excessive wheel bearing play in late 2023. The mileage of 115,603 is typical for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging around 7,225 miles per year. This suggests consistent use, but the recent failures indicate that the chassis and suspension components are now reaching a point of significant wear and decay. The most recent pass still carries advisories for a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush and a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that maintenance is currently reactive rather than preventative. A buyer must first inspect the quality of the repair carried out on the nearside rear sill and suspension mounting.
