2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · OU14 NXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test conducted in May 2026 at 44,680 miles flagged immediate issues with both front tyres reaching the legal limit and corrosion on the brake discs. While the car has passed each inspection, the recurring nature of brake component wear and suspension issues suggests the owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold or an advisory stage. At 44,680 miles over 12 years, this Giulia has seen significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the annual records, showing roughly 3,200 miles driven between the 2025 and 2026 tests. However, low mileage often correlates with the specific issues seen in this record, such as the corrosion on brake discs noted in 2022, 2024, and 2026, which typically indicates surface oxidation caused by the vehicle sitting for extended periods. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and front suspension. The record shows a persistent history of scored and pitted brake discs and thin pads, alongside a reported grabbing rear caliper in 2024. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for worn lower suspension arm bushes indicates that the rubber components are degrading due to age rather than mileage-related wear. The distorted nearside rear wheel rim noted in 2025 also warrants a check for impact damage that could cause uneven tyre wear moving forward. The engine oil leak from 2024 should also be verified to ensure it has been properly sealed and is not an active leak.
