2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · SM63 VRT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following the test on 18 February 2026 at 63,091 miles, though the maintenance trend indicates a history of deferred repairs on critical systems. While the car passed this inspection, the tester recorded a minor exhaust gas leak at the silencer fold and flagged corrosion on both front brake pipes. A nearside rear tyre was also noted as worn close to the legal limit. The record shows a pattern of brake system neglect, with scoring and pitting on discs appearing consistently since 2023, suggesting previous owners operated the vehicle with deteriorating friction components rather than replacing them promptly. Usage has remained consistently low throughout the recorded history, averaging approximately 5,258 miles per year over the vehicle's 12-year lifespan. The odometer progression is steady, moving from 51,219 miles in January 2023 to 55,150 miles by January 2024, and reaching 60,051 miles by February 2025. This limited accumulation often correlates with vehicles standing idle for extended periods, which can cause components to seize or degrade through lack of use, as evidenced by the rear brake binding noted in the January 2023 test. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and front suspension geometry. The February 2025 failure specifically cited de-bonded rear bushes on the front suspension arms, a significant structural defect that required immediate rectification. Given the persistent advisories for pitted and scored brake discs across all four corners since 2023, the current condition of the pads and discs needs verification to ensure they were not merely cleaned up for the test. Furthermore, the corrosion noted on the front brake pipes in the most recent test warrants a close examination for structural integrity, as hydraulic pipe failure poses a severe safety risk.
