2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · ND14 FCO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of neglecting basic consumable upkeep. The most recent test on 25 July 2025 at 80,891 miles resulted in an initial failure due to insufficient washer fluid and worn front tyres. While these issues were rectified to allow passing, the recurring nature of the tyre defects suggests that the owner only addresses faults when they threaten an MOT certificate rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 80,891 miles over 12 years, the car averages approximately 6,700 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-use figures. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between July 2024 and July 2025, and approximately 5,800 miles between July 2023 and 2024. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not been neglected, though the age indicates that rubber components and seals may be nearing degradation despite the low distance covered. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the repeated reports of tyres worn on the edge in 2023 and 2025 indicate a likely tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. The tester has not flagged structural corrosion or brake binding yet, but the washer fluid failure highlights a reactive approach to fluid levels. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, a physical check for rust on the sills and rear brake lines is necessary to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean mechanical history to date.
