What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (8.0%) and lighting & signalling (5.0%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are headlamp aim, brake pads and headlamp — headlamp aim alone was recorded 25 times.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 12.8% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2022 Giulia Veloce Tb
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 8.0% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (8.0% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Lighting & signalling (5.0% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Brakes (1.8% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
