2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L Petrol · FP67 WVM

The 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 10 December 2025 at 40,954 miles with zero defects recorded. That result is significant because it follows a period of active fault rectification earlier in the same year. In February 2024, the car failed its MOT at 34,832 miles on an offside headlamp aim issue, then passed the retest on the same date after addressing that defect alongside advisories for rear brake pad wear, scored rear brake discs, and inner edge wear on both front tyres. The fact that none of those items reappeared in the 2025 tests suggests the previous owner carried out genuine repairs rather than simply clearing the failure. No structural corrosion, suspension faults, or emissions defects have ever been flagged across the entire record, which is a positive indicator for a car of this age. The mileage profile tells a clear story of very light use. Covering just 40,954 miles over roughly nine years equates to approximately 4,550 miles per year, well below the UK annual average. The progression is steady and unbroken: 28,332 miles in February 2023, 34,832 miles in February 2024, 37,788 miles in February 2025, and 40,954 miles in December 2025. That is an average of around 3,100 miles per year over the last three years, with a slightly higher accumulation rate in the most recent period. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings, and the record is complete with no missing annual tests, which supports the conclusion that this vehicle has been driven consistently but gently rather than sitting unused for long periods. Despite the low mileage, the February 2024 advisories reveal that consumable components were wearing in a pattern not always typical of such light use. Inner edge wear on both front tyres points to possible tracking misalignment or suspension geometry drift, while scored rear brake discs suggest the vehicle may have been left stationary for extended spells, allowing surface corrosion to develop on the friction surfaces. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and subframe mounting points for any play or deterioration, and verify that the rear brake discs and pads are in good condition with no lipping or uneven wear. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, particularly around the rear silencer and any rubber mounting points, as low-mileage cars that make short trips are prone to internal moisture buildup and premature rust. The headlamp aim issue from 2024 was resolved, but confirming that both headlamp units remain correctly aligned and free from moisture ingress is a sensible precaution. Overall, the MOT record is reassuring, but a physical inspection focused on suspension geometry and underbody condition will confirm whether the car's mechanical state matches its clean paperwork.
