2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · OU14 NXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension wear and consumable component neglect. The most recent test in March 2026 at 114,065 miles passed despite multiple advisories for worn front suspension arm bushes and thin rear brake pads. While the car passed, the persistence of suspension-related defects across several years suggests that the previous owners were deferring repairs until they reached an advisory stage rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern remains relatively consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in the records where the March 2025 failure listed at 119,855 miles actually contradicts the successful pass in the same month recorded at 110,855 miles. This negative mileage suggests a clerical error in the DVSA database or an odometer recording issue. Between February 2024 and March 2026, the vehicle covered roughly 6,200 miles, which aligns with the typical annual usage observed throughout its life. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension geometry, as both the nearside and offside lower arm bushes have been flagged as worn for two consecutive years. These components will eventually lead to steering precision issues and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar noted in early 2025 also requires close attention to ensure structural integrity has not progressed beyond a point that would result in a future failure. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads and the distorted nearside rear wheel from 2024 indicate that the vehicle's braking and wheel components require immediate mechanical evaluation.
