What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (5.8%) and tyres (5.2%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are headlamp aim, tread depth and brake pads — headlamp aim alone was recorded 25 times.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 13.7% of tests without failing them.

What to check before buying a 2022 Stelvio Veloce Tb
On a 2022 Stelvio Veloce Tb, lighting & signalling is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 5.8% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Lighting & signalling (5.8% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Tyres (5.2% 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.
- Brakes (1.4% 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.
