2018 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · SW18 BGO

The vehicle's mileage of 87,362 miles is typical for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 10,920 miles per year. This suggests the car has seen standard road use rather than extreme heavy-duty driving or long periods of inactivity, meaning wear on consumables like suspension and tyres is expected. The MOT history shows a concerning trend where the vehicle's condition appears to be worsening. After two years of clean MOT results in 2024 and 2025, the most recent test in March 2026 recorded multiple defects. Specifically, there is a recurring pattern of suspension wear, with both front arm pins/bushes and rear wishbone bushes flagged as worn. This pattern of suspension degradation was also noted in 2022, suggesting these components are a known maintenance area for this vehicle. The most recent report also highlighted a tyre worn close to the legal limit with a damaged sidewall, indicating that recent maintenance on consumables may have been neglected. When inspecting this car, your first priority should be to verify that the suspension bushes and arm pins identified in the latest MOT have actually been replaced with new parts, rather than just being noted. You should also conduct a thorough check of all tyres for damage and uneven wear, and inspect the braking system to ensure it is in good working order.
