Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Focus your negotiation on the vehicle's suspension. The MOT records from February 2025 and February 2026 both highlight corroded rear coil springs and worn suspension arm pins or bushes; you should verify if these have been replaced or if they remain as pending repairs. Ensure the offside front CV boot, which caused a failure in 2025, has been properly addressed.
Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine age. Given the recurring suspension advisories, a professional pre-purchase inspection of the underside is strongly recommended to assess the extent of the corrosion mentioned in the MOT reports.
The 1368cc petrol engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency, though it will be less economical than the diesel variants. Tax and insurance will be based on 2011 registration brackets and the specific insurance group for the Giulietta 1.4L model.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific car due to the documented suspension wear and corrosion. Expect to budget for the replacement of coil springs and suspension bushings in the near future to avoid further MOT failures.
Prioritise an inspection of the rear suspension to check the state of the coil springs, which have been flagged as corroded in two consecutive years. Examine the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive movement, as these were noted as worn in the 2026 test.
Inspect the tyres for cuts or low tread, specifically the offside front and nearside rear, which led to the 2026 failure. Finally, check the windscreen for the small chip recorded in February 2026 to determine if it requires a repair to prevent further cracking.
This 2011 red Alfa Romeo Giulietta has covered 99,052 miles, which is slightly below the model average. The MOT history shows a clean pass in 2024, but subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 resulted in failures due to headlamp aim, CV boot deterioration, and tyre condition. Notably, there are recurring advisories regarding corroded rear coil springs and worn suspension arm bushings.
The Giulietta has an average MOT pass rate of 79%, with common failure points including headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms—all of which are present in this vehicle's history.
