2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · T25 EBB

The vehicle is currently in a fair roadworthy state, though the maintenance trend shows a decline in attention to detail. The most recent test on 20 December 2025 at 93,615 miles passed with several advisories, including a binding offside front service brake, a worn nearside rear tyre, and corrosion on the rear exhaust. This follows a clean pass in November 2024, suggesting a recent lapse in preventative upkeep. The mileage is low for a sixteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,851 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last decade, moving from 31,903 miles in October 2014 to 93,615 miles by December 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in usage that would suggest abnormal wear or long periods of stagnation. A buyer must scrutinize the suspension and tyre health. The record shows a chronic pattern of uneven tyre wear and perishing, appearing in almost every test since 2013. More concerning is the recurring suspension failure; the car failed in August 2021 at 79,046 miles due to worn front suspension arm bushes and a fractured offside rear coil spring, followed by another fractured nearside rear coil spring in October 2023 at 87,117 miles. This suggests a systemic weakness in the rear suspension components. The presence of an oil leak flagged in October 2023 and corrosion on the rear anti-roll bar indicates the onset of age-related degradation. Given the binding brake advisory from December 2025, the braking system requires a physical check for seized calipers. The repeated failures on lighting and tyres in 2023 point to a period of neglect, meaning a full mechanical audit of all consumables is necessary.
