2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · FP11 AEJ

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-10 at 102,254 miles passed without any defects, confirming it remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. The absence of advisories or failures across the last four tests—spanning November 2022 to July 2025—indicates a stable maintenance pattern, though the single failure in November 2023 (a retest at 94,554 miles) was unusually minor, suggesting no recurring mechanical issues. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks over this period is reassuring, though the lack of advisories in recent tests does not preclude hidden wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain seals. Mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 6,800 miles annually—a typical rate for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is standard, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged inactivity; the 2023 retest at 94,554 miles (just one mile after failure) implies prompt attention to whatever minor issue arose. While this suggests regular servicing, the absence of service records means critical intervals for items like timing belts, differential fluid, or brake fluid flushes cannot be confirmed. The recorded mileage aligns with expected wear, but no data points to aggressive driving or neglect. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while never failed, may show uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Exhaust emissions were last tested in 2025, but a visual check for leaks or catalytic converter fouling is advisable. Structural integrity should be assessed for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are common failure points in Alfa Romeos of this era. No advisories in recent tests do not rule out hidden issues, so a thorough mechanical inspection is essential.
