2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · LP16 AXT

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta presents a stable and largely trouble-free maintenance trend across its five most recent MOT cycles, culminating in a pass on 21 May 2026 at 98,452 miles. The sole advisory recorded in that latest test relates to a chipped and cracked windscreen that does not yet adversely affect the driver's view under item 3.2(a)(i). Prior to that, the vehicle passed three consecutive tests from 2022 through 2024 with zero defects recorded at all, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep over a four-year window. The only other flag in the entire history was a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit on 11 June 2025 at 87,788 miles, a routine consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical concern. Overall, the record suggests a well-maintained car with no recurring faults or worsening defect patterns. The mileage progression tells a coherent story of steady, typical use. Between 7 June 2022 at 52,596 miles and 11 June 2025 at 87,788 miles, the car covered roughly 35,192 miles in three years, averaging around 11,700 miles annually. That figure then dropped noticeably in the most recent twelve months, with only 10,664 miles added between June 2025 and May 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would suggest tampering or extended periods of disuse. The cumulative total of 98,452 miles over ten years aligns with the UK average and implies the car has been driven regularly without excessive strain on its drivetrain or suspension components. Prospective buyers should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean paperwork. The windscreen damage flagged in May 2026 warrants close examination, as cracks can propagate with temperature changes and road vibration, potentially leading to an MOT failure if they encroach on the driver's line of sight. The nearside front tyre wear noted in 2025 hints at possible alignment or suspension geometry issues, so a buyer should check for uneven tread wear across all four tyres and inspect the condition of the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and coil springs. Given the car's age and mileage, an underbody inspection for corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and exhaust mounting points remains prudent, even though no such defects have appeared on record. Brake disc thickness and caliper operation should also be verified, as these are high-wear items on a Giulietta at this stage of its life.
