2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · WN11 YOJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-24 at 149,590 miles showed a passing result, though a minor front oil leak was noted. This follows a pattern of recurring issues that have remained largely consistent over the past three years, with no significant improvement or deterioration in critical systems. The suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs, have shown ongoing corrosion, and tyre wear has been a persistent concern, indicating that basic maintenance may have been inconsistent. While the car remains roadworthy, the presence of multiple advisories suggests that further inspection is warranted to assess long-term reliability. Mileage progression shows an average annual usage of around 9,973 miles, which aligns with typical expectations for a 15-year-old vehicle. The records show a clean MOT in 2022 at 129,579 miles, followed by a series of minor issues from 2023 onwards. A notable gap exists between the 2022 test and the 2023 test, where several suspension and tyre-related defects were recorded. The 2024 tests, conducted just two days apart, reveal similar concerns, with repeated corrosion on rear coil springs and tyre wear approaching legal limits. These patterns suggest that the vehicle has not undergone comprehensive maintenance, particularly in areas affecting safety and longevity. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, focusing on the rear coil springs for further corrosion or damage. Brake components, including pads and discs, require close attention, as thin pads and pitted discs have been flagged in previous tests. Tyres, especially the rear ones, show signs of wear and perishing, which could indicate neglect in regular checks. Additionally, the presence of a front oil leak, though minor, warrants investigation to ensure there is no underlying mechanical issue. Structural integrity appears intact, but visual inspection of the chassis and bodywork is recommended to confirm no hidden rust or damage.
