2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · MT11 BFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on May 30, 2026, 109,953 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in preventative care, evidenced by a failure just two days prior at 109,886 miles. The tester identified structural failures in the nearside front tyre and a cut on the offside front tyre, alongside a misaligned headlamp beam. While these issues were rectified immediately to secure the pass, they indicate a lack of pre-test inspection by the owner. The mileage remains consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the record of nearly 20,000 miles between February 2023 (67,606 miles) and May 2024 (87,281 miles), followed by a steady increase of roughly 22,000 miles over the subsequent two years until May 2026. This consistent usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber seals and mechanical components caused by stationary periods. A prospective buyer must inspect the front-end suspension and geometry. The May 2024 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn to the edge often points to an alignment issue, incorrect camber settings, or worn suspension bushes. Given the recent failure due to structural tyre separation in 2026, a physical check of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth is essential to ensure no further impact-related damage exists. The record shows no history of significant structural corrosion or mechanical failures, which is positive for an Alfa Romeo of this era. The focus should remain on consumables and the lighting system. Because the headlamp aim was flagged as obviously incorrect recently, it is advisable to verify that the adjustment has been properly secured and that the mounting brackets are not loose, which could lead to recurring failures in future tests.
