2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · MR11 JVD

The most recent MOT on 8 May 2026 was a pass at 51,892 mi, but it flagged the off‑side front brake pads as “wearing thin” and noted a “slight oil leak”. That is the only current advisory, so the car is legally road‑worthy today, yet the brake‑pad wear and the leak point to components that may need attention soon. Across the five entries the same mechanical theme recurs: brake wear on both front and rear. In 2025 the car failed because the rear brake disc was judged “seriously weakened” and the rear pads were below the 1.5 mm minimum. The same front‑pad wear appears in every MOT, and rear‑pad wear shows up in 2024 and 2023. The fact that the car passed again in 2026 suggests the disc may have been replaced or resurfaced, but the pads are still near the end of their service life and will need replacement in the near future. Tyre condition also shows a deteriorating pattern. In 2024 the rear inner tyre and the nearside front tyre were described as “slightly damaged/cracking or perishing”. By May 2025 the nearside front tyre tread was reported as “not visible over the whole tread area”, which caused the failure. The 2026 MOT does not repeat the tyre comment, implying the worn tyre may have been replaced, but the history indicates that tyre wear and ageing have been an issue.
