2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · SM13 ERK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 18 February 2026 at 77,874 miles passed with no defects recorded, despite a technical failure exactly one day prior at the same mileage. This immediate re-pass sequence without recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a minor item that was rectified instantly, as the subsequent clean sheet indicates the mechanical components met all regulatory standards. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 1,672 miles, indicating a steady and low-usage profile rather than long periods of abandonment. This low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples of the same era. However, low-mile cars can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components such as bushes and brake hoses if the vehicle sits for extended periods without movement. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or failures, a buyer should focus on physical checks common to this age of Alfa Romeo. Inspect the underbody for structural corrosion and surface rust, as the MOT does not flag minor surface rust until it becomes structural. Check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion which occurs when a car is driven infrequently, and examine the suspension bushings for cracking or tearing. Given the clean records, the vehicle appears to have been well-maintained, but a physical inspection of fluid leaks and rubber age remains essential for a low-mileage Italian hatchback.
