2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.0L Petrol · K5 BLS

This 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio has passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 with no recorded defects, which is a positive sign. The current mileage of 50,637 miles sits well within the expected range for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging just over 6,300 miles annually. This typical usage pattern suggests the car has not been subjected to unusually heavy wear. However, the MOT history reveals a clear pattern of brake wear and tyre degradation over the past few years. In December 2022, the vehicle failed its MOT due to severely corroded rear brake discs with inner faces completely corroded, rear brake pads worn below the minimum safe thickness, and the offside rear tyre worn dangerously close to the legal limit. Just three days later, the same issues were corrected and the vehicle passed. By December 2023, front brake pads were thin and the front brake discs showed corrosion and scoring, though neither was considered seriously weakened at that stage. The progression suggests the Stelvio experienced significant moisture exposure or prolonged periods standing, leading to corrosion on both front and rear brake components. Brake fluid contamination or inadequate drying after washing could also contribute to the rust pattern seen. Since December 2023, however, the trend has improved markedly.
