Our Verdict
This Alfa Romeo Giulietta is a compelling choice for buyers seeking a stylish, low-mileage hatchback. With a clean recent MOT history and very modest usage, it stands out as one of the better-preserved examples of its age.
When viewing this vehicle, prioritise a thorough inspection of the service history to confirm that the timing belt has been changed, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1.4-litre MultiAir engine. Given the low mileage, ensure the car has been driven regularly to prevent issues with seized brakes or battery degradation from long periods of inactivity.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the condition of the interior upholstery. As this is an Alfa Romeo, check that all electronic features, including the 'DNA' drive mode selector and the infotainment system, function exactly as intended during your test drive.
The 1.4-litre petrol engine offers a sensible balance between performance and economy, typically returning around 40-45 mpg in mixed driving conditions. Road tax for this model year is generally moderate, though you should verify the exact VED rate based on its specific CO2 emissions.
Insurance groups for the Giulietta are reasonable for the segment, making it accessible for a wide range of drivers. Expect annual maintenance costs to be standard for an Italian hatchback, though sourcing parts is straightforward given the shared architecture with other Fiat group vehicles. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine servicing, are approximately £1,300-£1,600.
Focus your inspection on the suspension components, particularly the wishbone bushes, which can wear on UK roads. While the MOT history shows no failures for these parts, they are a known area of focus for the Giulietta model. Check the alloy wheels for signs of kerbing and ensure the red paintwork is free from excessive stone chips or lacquer peel.
Under the bonnet, look for any signs of oil leaks around the MultiAir unit. Since the MOT history is clean, use this as a baseline to ensure the car's general condition matches the lack of recorded defects. Test all door handles and boot release mechanisms, as these can occasionally become stiff on older examples.
Finished in striking red, this 2015 Giulietta has covered just 36,852 miles, which is significantly lower than average for a vehicle of this vintage. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories in recent years. While there were two administrative 'fail' entries in 2023 and 2025, these were quickly rectified, suggesting the car has been well-maintained by its previous keepers.
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta is generally considered a solid performer, though it requires diligent maintenance to keep the complex MultiAir engine running smoothly.
