2012 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · KX62 XPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in January 2026 at 80,788 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory, as the mechanical and electrical defects identified in early 2025 have been addressed. While the car failed its test in January 2025 due to lighting misalignment and suspension issues, the subsequent pass without any recorded advisories indicates that the owner took immediate action to rectify these safety-related de-motions. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,771 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 61,000 miles in early 2023 to 80,788 miles by early 2026. This low-frequency usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion, which is evidenced by the spring corrosion noted in the 2025 records. A physical inspection should focus on the rear suspension, as both nearside and offside coil springs were flagged for corrosion in January 2025. Although these were likely replaced, the buyer should check for signs of structural rust on the mounting points or surrounding sills. The front brake pads also require scrutiny, given that they were recorded as wearing thin at 75,248 miles and the vehicle has since covered over 5,500 miles. Additionally, the integrity of the exhaust system, which showed loose brackets in 2024, should be verified to ensure no further fatigue has occurred.
