2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.0L Petrol · RV67 JCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-19 with no recorded defects. However, this pass followed an immediate prior failure on the same day due to severely worn front brake pads—both sides measured under 1.5 mm—and a minor registration plate issue. The fact that the brakes were addressed and retested successfully suggests responsive maintenance, but the recurrence of advisory-level concerns over multiple tests indicates a gradual decline rather than stable upkeep. Overall, the maintenance trend appears to be slowly worsening, particularly concerning wear-prone safety components. With 73,925 miles on an eight-year-old vehicle, annual usage averages around 9,241 miles—well within typical parameters. Mileage accumulation has been consistent: from 48,389 miles in March 2023 to 73,925 by February 2026, equating to roughly 8,500–9,500 miles per year. There are no sudden spikes or unexplained gaps in the recorded mileage across the MOT entries, suggesting regular, moderate use without prolonged dormancy or excessive strain. The data is sufficiently detailed and aligns logically with the vehicle’s age and service intervals. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, given the recent near-failure due to critically thin front pads and prior advisories about a worn rear brake disc in 2023. Although repaired, such issues often signal broader wear in calipers, rotors, or hydraulic components. Additionally, repeated mentions of obscured engine components due to covers and undertrays may have limited thorough inspections of ancillary systems like coolant hoses or suspension mounts—especially relevant since a cracked coolant tank was noted in 2023. The damaged wheel arches and mudguards from 2024 also warrant a visual check for underlying corrosion or structural compromise, particularly in the front subframe area where road debris and moisture accumulate.
