2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.0L Petrol · WN18 XOU

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio presents a clean bill of health on paper. The most recent MOT, conducted on 21 March 2024 at 53,203 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or failures recorded. This marks the third consecutive clean pass following a failure in early 2022, indicating a clear improving maintenance trend. The vehicle currently sits just over two years past its last test, meaning a fresh MOT is legally required before any further use on public roads. The mileage accumulation sits at roughly 6,650 miles per year, which is entirely typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The record shows steady, linear progression from 25,371 miles in March 2021 through to 53,203 miles in March 2024, with no unusual gaps or sudden spikes in usage. The 2024 test date aligns precisely with the one-year anniversary of the 2023 pass, confirming regular annual testing without prolonged periods off the road. The sole failure on record occurred on 3 March 2022 at 34,303 miles, where the tester flagged both front tyres worn to the legal limit and rear brake pads worn down to the wear indicator. These are consumable items, and the fact that the car passed cleanly just four days later on 7 March 2022 suggests the previous owner addressed the defects promptly. No recurrence of brake or tyre wear issues has appeared in subsequent tests, which is encouraging. A buyer should still inspect the rear braking system in person, checking disc thickness and caliper operation for any signs of binding or uneven wear that may not have reached MOT failure thresholds. The front suspension bushes and lower arms deserve attention given the earlier edge wear on the nearside and offside front tyres, which can indicate misalignment or worn tracking components. Underbody corrosion around the rear subframe and exhaust mounting points is worth examining, as these areas are common failure points on the Stelvio platform over time.
