2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L Petrol · LL71 VRU

The most recent MOT on 2026‑04‑18 at 23,760 miles failed due to the near‑side and off‑side headlamp aim being too high, meaning the vehicle is presently not roadworthy until the alignment issue is corrected. The earlier test on 2025‑04‑25 at 16,402 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance history prior to this failure. The 2021 model has accumulated 23,760 miles by July 2026, averaging roughly 4,752 miles per year, which is low for its age. However, the interval between the 2025 test (16,402 miles) and the 2026 test (23,760 miles) shows an increase of 7,358 miles in one year, suggesting a period of more intensive use or a previous gap where the car was driven less. The only recorded defect concerns the headlamp aim, a symptom that typically points to wear in front‑end suspension bushes, ball joints, or steering components that affect wheel alignment. No recurring advisories on brakes, suspension, or structural rust appear in the record, but the headlamp issue warrants close inspection of the suspension geometry and mounting points. A buyer should examine the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and tie‑rod ends for excessive play or corrosion, verify that the headlamp units can be correctly adjusted, and inspect the steering linkage for wear. Additionally, a visual check for structural rust on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and subframes, and a test of the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear would be prudent given the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern.
