Alfa Romeo MiTo

Production Years: 2008 - 20183 Documented Faults

The MiTo was Alfa’s answer to the MINI and remains a meaningful UK used-car model because it offers style without huge running costs. The main risks are familiar Alfa-era electrical niggles, suspension wear and making sure MultiAir petrols were serviced properly.

Front Suspension Bush and Spring Wear

The MiTo’s sporty setup means front bushes, top mounts and springs are frequent UK MOT advisory items on tired cars.
