2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · PX61 YGV

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile characterized by a reactive approach to maintenance rather than preventative care. While the most recent recorded test in January 2022 at 128,750 miles passed, the car has now gone over four years without a documented MOT, making the current state of its mechanical components entirely unknown. The history shows a persistent trend of failing on critical safety items like tyres and suspension components, suggesting that previous owners only addressed faults when forced to by a test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for its age, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. However, there is a significant gap in data between the January 2022 test and the present date of July 2026. The vehicle has likely covered several thousand miles since the last recorded reading of 128,750, and the lack of a recent certification means that the wear on the brakes, suspension, and the non-excessive oil leak noted in 2022 may have progressed significantly without the oversight of a professional inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the record repeatedly flags worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joints and deteriorated dust covers. These recurring issues indicate a weakness in the front-end geometry. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the history shows a pattern of thin pads and pitted/scored discs across multiple years. Furthermore, the oil leak identified in 2022 needs physical verification to determine if it has remained stable or developed into a more significant leak. Given the history of failing on tyres with exposed cords, the current condition and age of all four tyres must be a priority.
