2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · WN11 YHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 2026-03-09 at 89,651 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning deterioration in structural integrity, particularly related to corrosion. The most recent test revealed extensive rust on multiple suspension components, including corroded coil springs, suspension arms, and mounting areas. These issues were previously noted in earlier tests and have not been fully addressed. The presence of welding work indicates past repairs, but the continuing corrosion suggests inadequate preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern reflects a relatively low annual average of approximately 5,977 miles over 15 years, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age. There is a noticeable gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, with no MOT recorded between February 2024 and March 2025. Mileage increased rapidly from 79,259 miles in February 2024 to 85,203 miles in March 2025, followed by further increases to 89,651 miles by March 2026. This acceleration may indicate periods of extended use without regular inspection or maintenance. Recurring issues with brake components show consistent wear, including nearside and offside rear brake discs and pads. These items are within legal limits but require attention before their next service. Suspension-related concerns are persistent, with corrosion affecting both front and rear coil springs, arms, and mounting points. Structural integrity is compromised in several areas, particularly around the rear sub-frame and suspension component mountings. The fuel tank straps and exhaust system also exhibit signs of corrosion, indicating potential future failures if not addressed. Potential buyers should carefully inspect the front and rear sub-frame areas, especially where corrosion has been documented. The rear suspension components, including coil springs and mounting points, require particular scrutiny due to the extent of rust observed. Brake systems should be checked for continued wear, and the exhaust system evaluated for security and condition. Any welding work noted should be inspected for proper fitment and longevity. The windscreen damage, while not affecting visibility, may warrant replacement given the vehicle’s age and usage history.
