2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L Petrol · P9 NKM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumables. The most recent test in March 2026 at 46,154 miles passed, yet the tester flagged both front tyres as worn on edges. This indicates a potential alignment issue or uneven wear pattern that was not present in previous years. While the car maintains a clean history, the emergence of tyre-related faults suggests that basic upkeep may be deferred until failure. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. There is a steady progression in recorded figures, moving from 14,007 miles in March 2021 to 46,154 miles in 2026. This low usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-distance motorway wear, which generally preserves the drivetrain and engine-related components. However, the relatively long intervals between annual tests can sometimes lead to dry rot in rubber components or brake caliper corrosion if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and steering geometry to address the edge wear noted in the March 2026 test. The 2024 test previously identified play in the offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, so a physical check of all suspension bushings and joints is necessary to ensure this area was properly rectified. Additionally, the failure in 2025 regarding non-conforming registration plates implies the owner may have used aftermarket parts or modifications without verifying legal compliance. No structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures have appeared in the history, which is a positive indicator for the integrity of the chassis.
