2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.1L Diesel · WV67 VEK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a maintenance trend showing improvement after a period of neglect. The most recent test in October 2025 at 36,543 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous issues with tyre condition have been addressed. This clean result follows a period of consistent passes, suggesting the car is currently maintained in a good state regarding its MOT requirements. The mileage pattern is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,060 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between September 2023 and October 2024, where the car covered only 7,906 miles in thirteen months. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to rubber component degradation or flat-spotting tyres. The failure in September 2022 suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods or was used without basic checks between intervals. A buyer should inspect the suspension geometry and alignment due to the recurring tyre issues. The September 2022 failure at 17,486 miles highlighted three tyres with exposed cords and a worn nearside rear, while the October 2024 advisory noted the same tyre was again worn on the edge. These patterns often point to incorrect alignment, worn suspension bushes, or faulty control arms. A physical check for uneven tyre wear is essential to ensure that mechanical faults are not causing premature failure of new rubber.
