2019 Alfa Romeo Giulietta

CarHunch analysed 512 real MOT records for the 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulietta. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulietta passes its MOT first time at 89%, significantly ahead of the UK average of 80%, which is genuinely impressive for a five-year-old car. However, nearly one in five vehicles (18.9%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, so a pre-purchase inspection is worth the cost before committing.

At 28,144 miles median and 33,587 average, these cars are running slightly lower mileage than typical for their age, suggesting they've been relatively pampered. The average of 0.62 failures per vehicle is low, but 3.6 advisories suggests routine maintenance items crop up—budget for regular servicing, and always ask the seller for full service history before you buy.

What to check before buying a 2019 Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
