2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.9L Petrol · SC03 DOB

The Alfa Romeo Giulia presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 21 July 2025 at 25,900 miles passing cleanly with zero defects recorded. This marks a positive shift from the previous test on 31 March 2025 at 24,749 miles, where the tester flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. The absence of any advisories or failures in the July test indicates the front tyres were replaced and the issue has been fully resolved. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate through to July 2026, and the record suggests the owner has addressed the flagged defect promptly. The mileage pattern is consistent and unremarkable for a 2022-registered saloon. Between the March and July 2025 tests, the car covered approximately 1,151 miles over a four-month interval, projecting to roughly 3,453 miles annually over that specific window. However, the current recorded mileage of 25,900 miles against a four-year age equates to an average of approximately 6,475 miles per year, which sits squarely within typical UK usage. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data that would suggest long periods of standing or recent high-intensity use. The two-test record is admittedly sparse, but both entries show a clean pass, and the mileage progression is logical. A buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean July result. The March 2025 advisory on both front tyres wearing on the edges raises a question about wheel alignment and suspension geometry. Edge wear on both fronts, rather than a single side, can point to toe misalignment or worn suspension bushes and track rod ends, so a four-wheel alignment check and a close visual inspection of the front lower arms, bushes, and anti-roll bar links is prudent. Given the Giulia's performance-oriented chassis, any uneven tyre wear pattern should also prompt an examination of the dampers for leaks and the coil springs for sag or cracking. The braking system and drivetrain have not been flagged in either test, which is encouraging, but a test drive should still assess brake disc condition, pad thickness, and any binding or dragging sensation from the rear calipers, a known issue on some Alfa Romeo models. The exhaust system and emissions readings passed both tests, suggesting the engine management and catalytic converter are functioning within parameters. Structurally, with no corrosion-related advisories on record, the underside and sills should still be inspected for stone chips, surface rust, or any signs of accident repair, particularly around the front subframe and rear trailing arms. Overall, the paper trail is reassuring, but the edge-wear pattern on the earlier test warrants a closer mechanical look before purchase.
