2015 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4L Petrol · WR15 OLA

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs regarding wear components. The most recent test on 14 February 2026 at 115,026 miles shows a pass only after an initial failure. While the owner addressed the inoperative rear number lamp, the tester flagged recurring issues with worn brake discs and front suspension arm bushes that mirror previous years. This suggests a pattern of only replacing parts once they reach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 115,026 miles over 11 years, the Giulietta averages approximately 10,457 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a passenger car. The data shows consistent use, with 14,000 miles covered between the March 2024 and February 2025 tests, and another 10,735 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady mileage places regular load on mechanical components, explaining the persistent degradation of the braking system and suspension hardware. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the front lower suspension arm bushes have been flagged in three consecutive tests since March 2024. The 2026 failure specifically noted wear on the rear bushes of these arms, indicating that the previous repairs were either incomplete or the components are failing rapidly. Furthermore, the brake discs have been consistently described as worn, pitted, or scored across multiple years. You should verify if the discs were actually replaced and check the condition of the calipers to ensure they are not binding, which would accelerate the surface corrosion seen on the metal.
