2010 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · WP60 PJJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of worsening structural and mechanical condition. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 98,531 miles, it had failed just one mile prior due to multiple critical issues including an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light and worn suspension arm bushes. The transition from a failure with eight adviss to a pass within a single mile suggests that the owner is only addressing the minimum repairs required to pass the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between December 2022 at 79,938 miles and November 2025 at 98,531 miles, the car covered roughly 18,600 miles. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is not prone to long periods of sitting, which likely explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of surface corrosion on the sub-frames as noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear sub-frames, as corrosion was flagged in the two 2025 tests. Although the tester noted these were not yet seriously weakened, structural rust on Alfa Romeo components often progresses rapidly if left untreated. The record also shows recurring issues with front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages which have appeared consistently between 2023 and 2025. These should be checked for play or creaking noises during a test drive. The braking system shows a history of neglect, with pitted and scored discs noted across almost every test since 2023. Furthermore, the MOT history frequently flags tyres being worn to the legal limit or exposing inner ply, suggesting the owner ignores basic consumable wear items until they are on the point of failure. Any prospective buyer should verify that the engine malfunction indicator light is now functional, as its failure in late 2025 is a significant fault that could mask underlying engine management issues.
