2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · MV16 KDN

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in January 2026, but only after an initial failure. This failure was caused by insufficient parking brake efficiency, a worn offside front suspension arm bush, and a tyre worn close to the legal limit. There is a clear and worsening pattern regarding the maintenance of consumables. In early 2023, the car had a clean report, but by 2025, three tyres and a rear brake disc were flagged as worn or pitted. The subsequent 2026 failure for suspension and braking components suggests a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The recorded mileage of 67,369 is typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. This suggests regular use, which generally means the engine and drivetrain have been kept in motion, but it also explains the natural wear seen in the suspension and braking systems. A buyer should first inspect the current depth and condition of all tyres to ensure they have been replaced with quality rubber rather than the bare minimum to pass the test. You should also test the parking brake for strength and check the front suspension for any remaining play or noise, specifically around the recently repaired offside arm. Finally, check the rear brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring.
