2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · MT14 FDZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a period of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 88,759 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a broken offside rear brake pad wear sensor. This represents a significant improvement from the failure in November 2024, where multiple safety-critical defects were identified. Since that failure, the vehicle has maintained stable status without further failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. The data shows a steady accumulation between 2022 and 2025, with a jump of over 10,000 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 9,000 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This regularity suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the November 2024 failure highlighted excessively worn bushes on both the nearside and offside lower suspension arms. While these were clearly replaced to pass the test, the simultaneous wear on both sides can sometimes indicate past alignment issues or heavy-stress driving. The 2024 failure also flagged exposed cords on the offside front tyre, suggesting the previous owner neglected tyre maintenance until failure became imminent. Verify the current tread depth and age of all four tyres to ensure they are not again nearing the end of their structural life.
