2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L Petrol · KE68 FTZ

The most recent MOT (28 April 2026) was a pass, but it recorded two clear issues: a minor exhaust leak with two loose clamps and very thin front inner brake pads, plus front brake discs that are worn, pitted or scored. A similar brake‑wear problem appears in the 2025‑05‑02 MOT, where the front pads were already noted as thin. The 2025‑05‑02 failed MOT also flagged a major exhaust leak, which has since been reduced to a minor leak but has not been fully resolved. This recurring exhaust issue and the progressive brake wear suggest a worsening trend for these safety‑critical components. At roughly 5,700 mi yr⁻¹, the 40,162 mi on a 2019 model is low for its age. Low mileage can mean lighter use, but it may also indicate long periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion and allow minor faults to develop unnoticed. The mileage alone does not prove hard use, but the brake wear points to regular driving that has consumed the pads and discs faster than expected for the mileage. Buyers should first inspect the exhaust system for any visible cracks, loose clamps or smoke, and verify that the leak is fully repaired. A thorough brake inspection – measuring pad thickness and disc condition – is essential. Also check for any rust or corrosion on suspension components that might have arisen from periods of storage.
