2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2.0L Diesel · YA63 CCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 with 82,984 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of stability followed by reactive maintenance in 2024. While the 2026 test recorded no failures, the tester noted a light oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber. This indicates the beginning of a seal failure that will require monitoring to ensure it does not progress into a significant leak. At 82,984 miles, the car has averaged approximately 6,915 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a significant spike in activity between August 2023 and August 2024, where the car covered 7,470 miles in just twelve months. Following this period, usage slowed, with 12,926 miles recorded between the August 2024 and March 2026 tests. This consistent but moderate mileage explains the wear patterns observed on the braking components. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the failure in August 2024 due to thin pads and pitted discs on both front and rear axles suggests a history of deferred maintenance. Although these issues were rectified to pass the re-test that month, a physical inspection should verify that the replacement components are of sufficient quality and that calipers are not binding. The misted shock absorber also warrants a close check for signs of fluid accumulation or grease, as dampener failure often leads to uneven tyre wear and compromised handling.
