2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · LM60 ADO

The 2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with the most recent MOT test on 2025-07-30 confirming no defects at 110,028 miles . The vehicle has passed its most recent inspection without fail, though the 2024-08-13 test—conducted on the same mileage as the prior failure—was also a pass, suggesting either a minor oversight in the initial failure or a consistent lack of critical issues. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the latest tests implies the vehicle has not experienced any persistent mechanical or structural concerns requiring immediate attention. However, the 2023 failures —both on 07-27 and 08-04 at 102,734 miles —were notably absent of recorded defects, which raises suspicion of either an administrative error or a test centre oversight rather than a mechanical pattern. The recorded mileage of 110,028 miles over 16 years equates to an average of approximately 6,877 miles per year , a figure consistent with typical usage for this age of vehicle. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage between tests, though the 2024-08-13 retest at the same mileage as the prior failure is unusual and warrants further scrutiny. The 2023 failures occurred within a week of each other, which could indicate a scheduling anomaly rather than a mechanical trend. No advisories or partial failures appear in the record, suggesting the vehicle has not undergone major servicing or repairs between tests. Given the lack of recorded defects in recent tests, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs , as Alfa Romeo models of this era are prone to premature wear in these areas. The rear brakes should be closely examined for binding calipers or uneven wear , especially if the vehicle exhibits pulling or reduced stopping efficiency. Brake discs and pads may also require assessment, as high-mileage Alfa Romeo models often develop thin pads or warped discs . Structural integrity should be checked for corrosion in wheel arches, subframes, and sills , particularly around the rear axle, where rust can compromise safety. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions-related failures are occasionally overlooked in MOT records. Finally, fluid levels and condition —brake, power steering, and coolant—should be verified, as these are not routinely tested in MOTs but can indicate neglect.
