Alfa Romeo Junior
The Alfa Romeo Junior is the brand's compact crossover - its entry point and first electrified small SUV, sharing underpinnings with the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600. Offered as a mild-hybrid petrol or an electric version, including a sporty Veloce, it brings Alfa style and a driver-focused edge to the small-crossover class. It's about design and driving flavour over outright space or range, a characterful alternative to the more sensible mainstream choices.
How these figures are sourced — the valuation is anchored to a researched used-market price for this model (AutoTrader median, 2023 at 30k miles). Reliability, mileage and variant data are real DVSA MOT records. Dimensions, tyre sizes and costs, servicing figures and the insurance group are segment-level estimates rather than sourced per car, and are being replaced model by model.

Best age to buy — around 2 years

Uses current UK pump and home-charging prices (DESNZ weekly), typical-driver insurance and manufacturer service intervals. "Fuel per mile" is just the energy input — so an EV at ~9p and a diesel at ~22p make running-cost comparison direct. A guide; your own costs will vary.

How we estimate this
Indicative annual comprehensive premium estimates. The 'Typical' figure represents an average UK driver in each age band; Lower and Higher risk show the realistic spread driven by factors UK insurers legitimately price on (postcode, occupation, claims history, NCB, voluntary excess, modifications). Based on 10,000 miles/yr, £250 voluntary excess, and the no-claims bonus selected above. Always get individual quotes before buying.

"Parts low/medium/high" indicates how easy the replacement part is to source — discontinued or specialist parts mean longer workshop time and bigger bills.
Reliability
Not enough first-MOT data yet. This measure needs cars registered from 2020 that have reached their first MOT at three years old; too few have so far for a figure worth publishing.
Not enough first-MOT data yet — no score. A car needs 100 first MOTs from 2018 registrations onward before this can be measured.
MOT outlook
Insufficient MOT history at this car's reference age — too few tests to compute a reliable percentile.
Things owners say
- 01The mild-hybrid suits those who can't charge; the electric Junior fits predictable urban and regional use.
- 02Shares its platform with the Jeep Avenger and Fiat 600 - known Stellantis mechanicals.
- 03Style and a sportier drive are the draw, especially the Veloce; rear space is tight for the class.
Safety recalls
Manufacturers occasionally issue safety recalls to fix a fault free of charge. You can check whether the Alfa Romeo Junior, or your exact vehicle, has any outstanding recalls on the official DVSA service.
Check on GOV.UKOpens the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency recall checker. Choose the make, model and year of manufacture — no registration needed.
Theft risk
A general indicator from UK 2025 theft data and this car’s characteristics — not a prediction for any one vehicle.
Whole-car theft
Higher
Desirable SUVs like this are relay-theft targets — keyless entry can be exploited from the driveway in under a minute.
Parts theft
Higher
Hybrid versions are a catalytic-converter target — a hybrid cat is rich in precious metals and can be cut out in about a minute.
Worth doing
- Keep keys in a Faraday pouch and away from the front door to block relay attacks.
- A catalytic-converter guard or forensic marking makes a hybrid far less appealing to cut.
- A visible steering lock is a cheap, strong deterrent on a frequently-targeted car.
Clean-air zones
Whether driving a Alfa Romeo Junior into a UK clean-air zone will cost you anything. Rules use the same Euro standard across most zones — petrol from 2006 and diesel from 2015 onwards are exempt; pure electric is always exempt.
Charging zones for cars
| City | Area | Daily charge | Likely outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| London | All of Greater London (within the M25) | £12.50 | Likely exempt Hybrid petrol engines from 2006 meet Euro 4. |
| Birmingham | Inside the A4540 Middleway | £8.00 | Likely exempt Hybrid petrol engines from 2006 meet Euro 4. |
| Bristol | City centre and part of the Portway | £9.00 | Likely exempt Hybrid petrol engines from 2006 meet Euro 4. |
| Glasgow | City centre | — | Likely exempt Hybrid petrol engines from 2006 meet Euro 4. |

Company car tax
What HMRC's Benefit-in-Kind charge looks like if you ran this Alfa Romeo Junior as a company car, by tax year and income-tax band. Calculated from a CO₂ of 114 g/km, using £32,500 as the P11D value.
| Tax year | BIK % | Tax @ 20% | Tax @ 40% | Monthly @ 20% | Monthly @ 40% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-26 | 27% | £1,755 | £3,510 | £146 | £293 |
| 2026-27 | 28% | £1,820 | £3,640 | £152 | £303 |
| 2027-28 | 29% | £1,885 | £3,770 | £157 | £314 |
| 2028-29 | 29% | £1,885 | £3,770 | £157 | £314 |
| 2029-30 | 29% | £1,885 | £3,770 | £157 | £314 |
P11D value is approximated from the latest new price; the exact figure on your tax code will depend on options fitted. The 4% diesel surcharge applies only to non-RDE2 (pre-2021) diesels — we assume RDE2 compliance for current models. Bands and rates from HMRC's Autumn Budget 2024 confirmation through 2029/30.
Servicing & the dealer network

Franchised UK dealers

Solid network
Premium niche
Network size relative to the UK's largest (Alfa Romeo is 1.6% of all franchised outlets)
A solid network — a franchised dealer is usually within reasonable reach, and independent garages are generally familiar with the brand.
For context, the UK has roughly 4,500 franchised car-dealer outlets in total, plus about 15,500 independent garages.
Approximate figures, curated from public UK industry sources (NFDA, Car Dealer Magazine). Franchised networks shrink year on year — these indicate network size, not an exact count.

Common questions
Alfa Romeo Junior, answered from the data
- How much does a used Alfa Romeo Junior cost?
- A 2024 Alfa Romeo Junior with around 15,600 miles is worth roughly £22,000 today (typical range £18,450–£25,600). Dealer forecourt prices sit higher and part-exchange offers lower; newer or lower-mileage examples cost more.
- How quickly does the Alfa Romeo Junior depreciate?
- A new Alfa Romeo Junior typically loses about 39% of its value over the first three years, then depreciates more slowly. Buying at three to five years old avoids the steepest part of the curve.
- What insurance group is the Alfa Romeo Junior?
- The Alfa Romeo Junior sits in insurance group 25 of 50 — the middle of the scale. Exact premiums depend on the trim (some versions sit a few groups higher or lower), your age, postcode and no-claims history.
- What goes wrong on a used Alfa Romeo Junior?
- The parts most often recorded at MOT on the Alfa Romeo Junior are: lighting & signalling (typically around 30k-60k miles, £15-£120 to put right); suspension (typically around under 30k miles, £150-£450 to put right); brakes (typically around under 30k miles, £150-£500 to put right). A full service history and a recent MOT with no advisories are the best protection.
- What does the Alfa Romeo Junior cost to run?
- Expect around 53 mpg combined on the 1.2 Hybrid 136 Speciale, £200 a year in road tax, about £290 for a standard annual service. The full cost-of-ownership table above breaks this down per year and per mile for the exact year and mileage you choose.
- Is the Alfa Romeo Junior ULEZ compliant?
- Whether a Alfa Romeo Junior is ULEZ compliant depends on its engine and registration date: petrol from 2006 and diesel from September 2015 generally qualify, and electric versions are always exempt.
- How many Alfa Romeo Juniors are on UK roads?
- About 2,050 Alfa Romeo Juniors are currently taxed and on the road in the UK, from DfT vehicle-licensing data.
