2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · OU14 OSC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the emergence of suspension-related wear. Following a successful test in September 2025 at 60,848 miles, the tester flagged slight play in both nearside and offside front anti-roll bar ball joints. This represents a shift from the clean records seen in 2023 and 2024, indicating that minor suspension components are beginning to reach their service limit despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is consistently low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 3,500 miles covered between the August 2024 test and another 3,700 miles leading into September 2025. This low annual accumulation suggests the strain on the engine and drivetrain remains light, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the coil spring failure noted in 2023. A buyer should inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the play in the anti-roll bar ball joints has not progressed into a significant mechanical failure. The history of a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2023 necessitates a thorough visual check of the remaining springs for signs of corrosion or stress fractures. Given the previous advisory regarding a nail in the tyre in 2022, the condition of the tyres should also be verified for uneven wear or age cracking which often affects low-mileage older vehicles.
