2012 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · KP62 VEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing history. The September 2025 test at 104,778 miles resulted in a clean pass following a minor failure the previous day for a non-functional side repeater and incorrect headlamp aim. These recent issues represent minor electrical and alignment adjustments rather than mechanical degradation. The absence of defects in the September 2025 pass suggests the vehicle is currently maintained to a functional standard. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 43,932 miles in October 2015 to 104,778 miles in September 2025. This pattern indicates regular, predictable usage rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive high-speed motorway running. Such consistent use generally helps prevent issues like seized brake calipers or perished rubber components that often affect low-mileage vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and tyre management history. The September 2018 failure noted a fractured offside rear coil spring, which indicates the suspension components have faced significant stress in the past. While no further spring failures appear in the record, the presence of multiple tyre-related failures between 2018 and 2024 suggests a tendency toward running consumables near their legal limits. The 2024 failure for a tyre cut reaching the cords highlights the need for a thorough inspection of all current tread depths and sidewall integrity. Brake maintenance also warrants attention. The September 2022 test flagged wearing rear brake pads, which is a standard consumable item but requires verification that the replacement was performed correctly. Given the history of tyre and minor electrical faults, a physical inspection should confirm that the vehicle has not been subject to deferred maintenance on more critical safety components. Focus on checking the condition of the suspension bushes and checking for any signs of uneven tyre wear that might indicate alignment issues.
