2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · MF16 FWZ

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, though the most recent test on 9 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. The record indicates a fluctuating trend, as the vehicle failed its test in September 2025 before immediately passing, following a similar pattern of failure and subsequent pass in March 2024. While the most recent result is clean, the presence of two failures within a short timeframe suggests intermittent issues that require closer inspection. The vehicle has covered 102,403 miles over its ten-year lifespan, averaging approximately 10,240 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The MOT records provided show regular testing intervals, with entries in March 2024, September 2024, and September 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of non-use or neglect of mandatory inspections. Because the failure entries in March 2024 and September 2025 do not specify the exact nature of the defects, a physical inspection is necessary to identify the root causes of these previous failures. A buyer should focus on common wear items such as brake discs, pads, and calipers, as well as suspension components like bushes and coil springs. Given the mileage, checking for signs of corrosion on the underside and inspecting the exhaust system for structural integrity is also advisable. The lack of specific advisory notes in the recent tests means there is no documented evidence of worsening components like tyre tread or wiper blades. However, the repeated failures without recorded defects in the provided data mean the mechanical cause of those failures remains unverified. A thorough check of the drivetrain and braking systems is recommended to ensure that the issues causing the 2024 and 2025 failures have been fully rectified.
