2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · LM60 AEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, holding a valid MOT after the December 2025 test at 131,934 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows improvement: after a failure on 16 January 2024 at 120,178 miles, the car has passed every subsequent test, indicating that any issues identified then were addressed and the car is now in a stable condition. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a ten‑year‑old model. Between January 2023 (116,303 miles) and January 2024 (120,178 miles) the odometer rose by roughly 3,900 miles in twelve months. The next year saw an increase of about 6,000 miles to 126,232 miles in December 2024, followed by a further 5,700 miles to the current reading in December 2025. This pace—around 5–6 k miles annually—is below the average 8 k miles per year cited for the model’s age, suggesting lighter use or periods of storage. The only notable gap is the dual entry on 16 January 2024, where a failure was immediately followed by a pass, implying a rapid retest rather than a prolonged repair period. A buyer should inspect the braking system for wear on discs and pads, checking for binding calipers or uneven pad thickness, as the earlier failure may have involved brake‑related components. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for corrosion or excessive play, given the car’s age and mileage. Tyre tread depth and uneven wear patterns are critical, as lower mileage does not guarantee uniform tyre condition. Visual inspection for rust around sills, door frames and underbody is advisable, as long‑term exposure can compromise structural integrity. Finally, listen for exhaust leaks and check the tailpipe for excessive smoke or corrosion, as emissions performance can affect MOT outcomes.
