2012 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · WV12 RVP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in March 2026 at 190,215 miles shows a pass only after a failure just three days prior. That failure was triggered by an inoperative engine malfunction indicator light, alongside suspension and tyre issues. While the electronic fault appears to have been rectified, the recurring nature of the suspension and tyre defects suggests the owner only addresses these components when they reach the point of MOT failure. At 190,215 miles over 14 years, this Giulia has averaged approximately 13,600 miles per year, which is above the national average and indicates heavy annual motorway use. The data shows rapid mileage accumulation between April 2024 and March 2026, where the car covered over 21,000 miles in just twenty-four months. This high-frequency usage puts significant stress on the drivetrain and braking systems, which is reflected in the frequent advisories regarding worn brake discs and pads. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the nearside front upper suspension mount and bush were flagged as worn in March 2026. Given the mileage, these components are likely nearing the end of their functional life. The history shows a consistent pattern of neglecting tyre condition, with multiple entries for being worn to the legal limit or having structural bulges, such as the offside rear tyre. The buyer should also verify that the engine management system is fully functional, as the March 2026 failure indicates a potential sensor or wiring issue that was recently cleared or repaired.
