Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce TB Auto?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

Moderate sample. 398 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce is a reliable performer, with an 89.5% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%, and only 15.8% of vehicles have ever encountered a dangerous defect—a reassuring figure for a car in this class. Nearly all of these are petrol models, and they're passing their tests at a solid 89.2% rate.

At just over 25,600 miles median mileage for three-year-old cars, these Giulias are running below typical wear, which suggests conscientious ownership and explains why average failures are minimal at 0.29 per vehicle. The 1.6 advisories per car point to minor wear items rather than systemic problems, so focus your pre-purchase inspection on the usual Italian electrical gremlins and brake condition rather than structural concerns.

The 2021 Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce TB Auto passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (90.4%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.

⚠️ Around 1 in 8 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 90.4% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 1.6 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 398 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
