2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L Petrol · MW18 NXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in April 2025 at 93,897 miles, this followed a significant failure on the same day. The failure identified multiple critical safety issues, including four tyres with exposed cords or excessive wear and a missing offside rear anti-roll bar linkage. This suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by the MOT testing process rather than performing preventative maintenance between service intervals. The recorded mileage of 93,897 miles over eight years averages to approximately 11,737 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK road usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with intervals of roughly 9,000 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,500 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, which explains the consistent wear on consumable components like tyres and suspension bushings noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The record shows a recurring issue with the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage, which progressed from slight play in 2024 to being entirely missing in 2025. Additionally, the offside front shock absorber was flagged for oil misting in 2025; this should be monitored for signs of worsening leakage which could indicate an impending strut failure. The repeated history of inner-edge tyre wear in 2022 also suggests potential alignment issues or worn ball joints that need to be verified to prevent premature degradation of the next set of tyres.
