2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · RV60 DFC

The vehicle remains roadworthy having passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 90,965 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed, the 2026 record flagged a non-excessive oil leak and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a pattern seen in 2023 with similar tyre issues, suggesting the owner only replaces consumables when they approach failure during an MOT inspection. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 90,965 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,685 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between October 2022 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered only 8,430 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 12,272 miles in the following year. This low-mileage profile often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the appearance of the oil leak identified in the latest test. A buyer must physically inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the oil leak noted in February 2026, as persistent leaks on these engines can stem from gaskets or seal failures. The 2022 advisory highlighted pitted and scored brake discs alongside thin rear pads, indicating that the braking system has suffered from corrosion, likely due to the periods of standing mentioned. Given the recurring mentions of windscreen damage across multiple years, the integrity of the glass should be checked for chips that may now be structural cracks.
