2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · WM16 YCT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 11, 2026, at 68,112 miles, but the maintenance trend indicates a consistent pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test was passed, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. These recurring issues suggest that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach a failure point during annual inspections. The mileage profile is consistent with typical low-use patterns, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year over the ten-year period. The data shows a steady progression from 48,623 miles in May 2023 to 68,112 miles in June 2026, representing an accumulation of roughly 20,000 miles over three years. This low annual mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain but increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading due to age and oxidation rather than distance-related friction. A buyer must scrutinise the braking system thoroughly, as the record shows thin pads were noted across multiple tests in 2023, 2025, and 2026. The failure in June 2025 due to a structural lump in the nearside rear tyre and perishing on the offside rear further highlights a history of neglecting consumables. Physical inspection should check for sidewall cracking on all tyres and evaluate the condition of the brake discs for scoring, as delayed replacement of pads often leads to heat damage on the rotors.
