Known faults for Alfa Romeo Alfa Romeo Stelvio
Our database tracks 4 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: ALFA ROMEO STELVIO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Relay Failure & Random Limp Mode(Serious)
A bank of six micro-relays behind the front-right wheel well liner is a common failure point on the Stelvio. Faulty relays (Starter/Aux Pump) lead to no-start scenarios or random limp mode. Many owners proactively swap these for updated Mopar units.
- Battery-Voltage & AGM Upgrade(Moderate)
The Stelvio is highly voltage-sensitive. The factory EFB battery is a known weak point. Upgrading to a Group Size H8 (LN5) AGM battery is a recommended fix for many "ghost" electrical warnings and start-stop issues.
- Front Suspension & Inner Tyre Wear(Moderate)
The sharp steering comes at a cost of high stress on front bushings and anti-roll bar links. Heavy diesel models are particularly prone to inner edge tyre wear if the alignment isn’t set precisely.
- AdBlue and NOx-Sensor Faults on 2.2 Diesel(Moderate)
UK diesel Stelvios can suffer from SCR and NOx-sensor warnings, particularly if the car has done lots of short journeys or seen repeated warning resets instead of proper repairs.
