2018 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · WM18 LWU

The most recent MOT (2 June 2025) was a pass, but it flagged the off‑side front inner tyre as being worn close to the legal limit and showing edge‑shoulder wear. That is the only defect recorded across five years of MOTs; the 2021 test noted a nail in the near‑side rear tyre, which has since been cleared. The pattern is limited to tyre condition – no mechanical, emissions or safety items have been flagged. Apart from the tyre warnings, the MOT history is clean and shows no worsening of other components. The trend therefore appears stable, with the only emerging issue being tyre wear. At just under 40,000 mi for an eight‑year‑old Alfa Romeo Giulietta the mileage is low – roughly 5,000 mi per year. Low mileage can mean less overall wear on engine, transmission and suspension, but it can also indicate long periods of inactivity, which may lead to rubber hardening, rust‑prone suspension bushings or corrosion in hidden areas. The mileage figure alone does not point to hard use, but it does not guarantee the car has been regularly driven either. For a buyer the priority should be a thorough tyre inspection: check tread depth on all four wheels, look for uneven wear that could signal alignment or suspension issues, and verify that the tyre that was close to the limit has been replaced. While you’re there, inspect the brakes for pad wear and rotor condition, and give the suspension a quick bounce test for any squeaks or excessive play.
