2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · MK14 SOC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward suspension-related wear. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 115,088 miles passed, it introduced two new advisories regarding worn bushes on both front lower suspension arms. Although the car passed the 2025 test without any defects, the appearance of these faults indicates that the front suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their operational life. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,000 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has avoided long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and rubber components, though it explains the current progression of wear-related mechanical failures. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection to check the extent of the play in the front lower suspension arm bushes flagged in the 2026 record. The history also shows a pattern of tyre management issues, starting with uneven wear noted in 2023 and culminating in a failure in March 2024 for tread depth below the legal limit on both rear tyres. This suggests potential alignment issues or neglect of basic consumable maintenance that should be verified to ensure the rear geometry is not causing premature tyre degradation.
