Is the 2020 Giulia getting worse?

Pass rate of 2020-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	89.3% -1.5 vs same-age
2024	90.9% +0.9 vs same-age
2025	91.3% +2.3 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia reliable?

2020-registered examples passed 90.5% of their MOT tests (1,846 tests, 2023–2025), +0.5 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 6 years old with a median 27,256 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2020 Giulia?

The median tested example shows 27,256 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
