2018 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · SW68 KXN

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-21 at 62,409 miles confirms a clean pass with no defects, maintaining a consistent trend of compliance since 2021. This suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures or structural issues during its regular testing intervals, though the absence of advisories or minor faults in recent years could indicate either diligent maintenance or deferred attention to wear items. The 2022 test stands as an outlier, flagging a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit—a detail that, if unaddressed, could imply either a lapse in tyre rotation or basic upkeep. Beyond that, the record shows no recurring faults, but the lack of advisories in later tests makes it impossible to confirm whether earlier issues were resolved or simply overlooked. The mileage progression of 7,801 miles annually over eight years aligns with typical usage for this age of vehicle, though the gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests—nearly 12,000 miles—suggests either a period of higher mileage accumulation or an extended period of non-use. The 2022 fault on the nearside front tyre, combined with the sudden mileage jump, raises a question about whether intermediate checks were skipped. No other irregularities in the mileage pattern are evident, but the consistency of passing without advisories in the past three tests implies the vehicle has not suffered from neglected fluid changes, suspension wear, or drivetrain issues that would typically surface at this range. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension components, particularly the front nearside, given the 2022 tyre fault which may indicate misalignment or uneven wear from worn suspension bushes or coil springs. The brakes, while never explicitly failed, warrant closer examination for binding calipers, uneven disc thickness, or corrosion—common issues in Alfa Romeo models of this era. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially around wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can compromise safety without always being visible. Finally, the lack of advisories in recent tests does not preclude deferred servicing; verifying oil change intervals, brake fluid condition, and timing belt status (if applicable) will be critical to avoiding costly failures.
