Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Tb Owners

These checks follow this Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Tb's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Tb.

  • the lights — “headlamp aim too high”

    Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

  • the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

    Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.

  • the brakes — “brake pads less than 1.5 mm thick”

    Look through the spokes of each wheel at the pad — less than 3mm of friction material, or a lip on the disc edge, is the usual failure. Check the handbrake holds on a slope with a few clicks, not at the top of its travel.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce Tb. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
