2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6L Diesel · WR11 BHZ

The vehicle currently holds a passing MOT status as of the test conducted on 2025-06-27 at 122,723 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a significant mechanical failure in June 2025, when the tester flagged a fractured or broken nearside front coil spring. This recurring suspension issue indicates a failure in the vehicle's primary damping system that requires immediate attention. While the most recent test was successful, the history suggests a worsening trend regarding suspension components, demanding a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and associated linkages. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,182 miles per year over the last several years. The record shows a steady progression from 81,635 miles in May 2022 to the current 122,723 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, suggesting continuous use. The previous tests in 2023 and 2024 noted the nearside and offside front tyres approaching or reaching the legal wear limit, suggesting that basic consumable upkeep may have been inconsistent during that period. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system immediately, specifically checking the coil springs and associated rubber bushes for signs of fatigue or damage. The history of tyre wear suggests that the tyres should be checked for uneven wear patterns and adequate tread depth. While the current MOT is clean, the previous failure involving the front side repeater and the coil spring indicates that underlying electrical or mechanical faults may exist that were not caught during the recent inspection. Finally, the deterioration of the rear registration plate noted in both the 2025-06-27 and 2025-06-21 tests is a minor cosmetic issue and does not impact the vehicle's roadworthiness.
