2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · FP16 WTK

The 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 62,386 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 26 July 2023 at 52,408 miles, which the DVLA record shows with no defects listed; the vehicle passed later the same day at 52,410 miles, indicating a clerical or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five-year span. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,239 miles, typical for a ten-year-old hatchback. The records show steady, low accumulation: 50,079 miles in July 2022, 52,410 in July 2023, 56,736 in July 2024, and 62,386 in July 2025. The 5,650-mile gain between mid-2023 and mid-2024 is the largest single-year movement, yet still modest. The clean sheet across all tests suggests the previous owner kept basic consumable wear and structural integrity within test limits, with no pattern of deferred tyres, wipers, or binding calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished advisory history. Low-use vehicles such as this often conceal surface corrosion on subframes or degraded rubber mountings that a pass certificate will not capture once mileage stays under 7,000 per year. Check the coil springs, track-rod ends, and underbody for moisture trapped rust, particularly around sills and suspension mounts. Given the same-day fail and pass in July 2023 with zero defects logged, treat that entry as administrative noise rather than evidence of recurring fault. The Giulietta's record supports a well-kept, lightly driven example, but pre-purchase scrutiny of brake line condition and tyre sidewall age remains sound practice given the standing periods implied by the low annual totals.
