2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia V6 Biturbo Q-Rifoglio A 2.9L Petrol · MM66 XLX

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio presents a clean bill of health in its most recent MOT, passing on 2 February 2026 at 50,371 miles with zero defects. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the December 2024 test at 47,758 miles did flag advisory-level wear on both the offside front and rear tyres, worn close to the legal limit and on their edges. These tyre-related advisories did not recur in the 2026 test, suggesting the previous owner replaced the rubber and likely addressed the alignment or suspension geometry causing the uneven edge wear. Mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2016 vehicle, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady climb from 32,437 miles in December 2021 to 50,371 miles by February 2026, with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes. This pattern indicates consistent, light use rather than long periods of dormancy, which reduces the risk of deteriorated seals, dried-out rubber components, or moisture-related corrosion that often plagues stored vehicles. Despite the clean recent pass, the 2024 advisory raises a flag about the car's suspension and wheel alignment health. Edge wear on the offside tyres points to possible tracking misalignment, worn suspension bushes, or degraded dampers affecting the contact patch. A prospective buyer should have the front and rear suspension geometry professionally measured and inspect the lower wishbones, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar links for play. The Quadrifoglio's high-performance braking system also warrants a thorough check of the brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the car's torque and the potential for heat-related caliper seizure. Beyond the MOT data, a physical underbody inspection is advisable to rule out corrosion on the subframes, suspension mounting points, and exhaust system, as even low-mileage performance cars can suffer if driven in harsh conditions. The clean five-year run of passes with only one minor advisory is encouraging, but the 2024 tyre wear pattern suggests the car's dynamic components deserve closer scrutiny before purchase.
