2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · LO16 NJV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, but the MOT record indicates a significant deterioration in maintenance history that is not currently improving. The most recent test on 2025-07-21 was conducted at 43,286 miles, which is consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage profile. However, the record shows a distinct pattern of failure that is not resolving. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, thin brake pads, and nearside rear tire tread depths below the 1.6mm requirement, all of which have appeared in the September 2024 test at 33,494 miles. This suggests that the vehicle has experienced a recurring wear pattern rather than a temporary malfunction, indicating that basic upkeep was likely skipped or neglected in the past. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 4,329 miles per year, which is low for a 2016 model but consistent with the vehicle's age. The data is relatively clean, with no gaps in the record, meaning the vehicle has been driven and maintained for a full decade without major structural issues. The only notable gap in mileage is the period from 2023 to 2024, where the tester failed on nearside rear and front tire tread depths, but the test was conducted on 2024-07-16, placing it between the 2023-07-24 and 2025-07-21 dates. This gap of roughly two months suggests the vehicle may have been idle for a short time, but the underlying mechanical risks remain. Given the recurrent failures in braking systems and tire wear that persist for at least two years, a buyer should inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, binding calipers, and structural corrosion. The brake pads and discs appear to be worn thin, which could indicate insufficient lubrication or a lack of regular replacement. The rear suspension bushes may also be in poor condition, as the tester flagged offside rear nails in the 2025 test. While the tyres are still passing, the tread depth is critically low, suggesting that the vehicle has not been properly maintained in the last two years. The overall roadworthiness is Pass, but the history requires immediate attention to prevent failure.
