Is the Alfa Romeo Giulietta ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 26,531 MOT tests, around 59% of Alfa Romeo Giuliettas still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 31% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 10%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 50% diesel, 50% petrol. Diesel Giuliettas are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged. Every petrol Giulietta in the data (2010 onwards) is likely to be compliant.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Giulietta
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Diesel (50% of Giuliettas tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
- Petrol (50% of Giuliettas tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
Giuliettas from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (10% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Alfa Romeo can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Alfa Romeo Giulietta for London: what the MOT data shows
The Alfa Romeo Giuliettas in this data were first registered between 2010 and 2020. 2011 was the most common year, with 5,553 tests (21% of the total), and half were registered in 2013 or later.
Giuliettas from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 72% of the time, at an average of 70,174 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 62% of the time with 96,700 miles on average, so a compliant car is usually the more reliable buy as well as the cheaper one to drive in London.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Giuliettas likely to comply are from 2016. 1,173 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 77% of the time and averaged 56,541 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Giulietta's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were lights and electrics: "not working" (4.5% of tests); suspension: "fractured or broken" (4.1%); tyres: "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (3.4%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 19.0% of tests.
Overall, 69% of Giuliettas passed first time, slightly below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 78,309 miles on average, more than the 73,145-mile average.
