2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · NA60 WVH

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 3 January 2025 at 83,164 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a similarly clean pass in January 2024. This indicates that any previous mechanical or electrical issues have been successfully addressed. The trend shows a transition from intermittent failures regarding lighting and wheel distortion in earlier years to a period of consistent compliance over the last two years. The mileage pattern reflects low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. The records show a steady, gradual increase in mileage, with the vehicle covering roughly 13,000 miles between the 2014 and 2016 tests, and much smaller increments in recent years. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or was used for short, infrequent trips. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to neglected maintenance on rubber components or fluid degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the wheel rims and suspension components. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of distorted road wheels, specifically noted in 2013, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2023. Although the 2025 test was clear, the frequency of these faults suggests the vehicle may have encountered significant impact damage or poor road surfaces. I recommend a close examination of the alloy wheels for bends or cracks and a check of the suspension bushes, which were flagged as cracking in 2016. The electrical system and braking components also warrant attention. The tester flagged an ABS fault and a warning lamp in January 2023, which was resolved by the subsequent pass. Although the braking system appears healthy in the latest entries, the history of lighting failures and coolant leaks in 2014 indicates that minor electrical and cooling system issues have occurred previously. Verifying the integrity of the cooling system and ensuring no active ABS faults remain is a prudent step before purchase.
