2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.0L Petrol · MD18 UAH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 51,039 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a period of neglect followed by reactive repairs in mid-2024. While the 2026 test was clean, the prior failure in 2024 indicates that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached inspection thresholds rather than following a preventative schedule. At 51,039 miles over eight years, the Stelvio has averaged approximately 6,380 miles per year. This usage profile is consistent with low-average driving, which generally limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows that between June 2023 (31,312 miles) and June 2024 (38,677 miles), the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles, a rate that aligns with the significant wear seen on the brakes and tyres noted during that specific period. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the suspension components given the issues flagged in recent tests. The June 2025 test identified slight play in the nearside rear upper anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, suggesting that rubber bushings are beginning to perish despite the relatively low mileage. Furthermore, the 2024 failure for worn front brake pads and scored discs indicates the braking system was being run until failure. You must verify the current thickness of the front pads and ensure the discs were replaced simultaneously with quality components. The TPMS warning light recorded in 2024 also warrants investigation to ensure the sensors are functional and the system was not simply cleared temporarily. Because the rear tyres were noted as being worn on edges in 2024, a check of the alignment is necessary to rule out geometry issues that could cause premature tyre degradation. While the current MOT is clear, the history suggests a vehicle that requires diligent monitoring of consumable wear to prevent future mechanical failures.
