2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · LS65 UMZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a shift from a clean record to active wear patterns. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 104,998 miles passed, it identified three new defects that were absent in previous years. The appearance of worn nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes, alongside a non-excessive oil leak, suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase of component replacement after several years of clean operation. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 58,736 miles in 2021 to over 104,000 miles in 2025. This regularity suggests regular road use rather than long periods of stagnation which often leads to seal failure. However, the jump of over 11,000 miles between the last two tests correlates with the onset of mechanical wear on rubber components and fluid seals noted by the tester. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the worn arm bushes flagged in the 2025 test can lead to handling instability and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The oil leak mentioned in the latest record requires a close look at the engine bay to determine if it is a simple cover gasket or a more significant seal failure. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding thin inner rear tyre tread edges indicates a potential alignment issue or worn rear shocks, which should be verified against the current state of the tyres to ensure the degradation is not recurring.
