2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · WN11 YML

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-08 showed a pass at 83,548 miles, but this followed a failure just 11 days earlier on 2026-03-27. The failure highlighted critical issues: corrosion in both front and rear suspension mounting areas, which significantly reduces structural strength, and a faulty side repeater . Emissions testing was also blocked due to an unstable idle, which may indicate engine or sensor problems. These defects suggest ongoing mechanical and structural concerns. The vehicle’s MOT history reveals a pattern of corrosion and suspension wear . In 2024, damage to the near-side rear alloy rim and underbody corrosion were recorded. By 2025, a worn front suspension arm ball joint was noted, and in 2026, severe corrosion in suspension components was identified. These issues point to potential long-term exposure to moisture or poor maintenance , which can accelerate metal degradation. While the 2026 MOT passed after repairs, the recurrence of corrosion and suspension faults indicates persistent risks . The vehicle’s mileage of 83,548 miles over 15 years (about 5,570 miles annually) is low for its age.
