ALFA ROMEO MITO2010 · 1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass in August 2025 at 75,908 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the recurring mechanical and consumable issues identified between 2021 and 2024 were addressed before the most recent test. However, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care, with faults only being rectified once they approached failure thresholds. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,908 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,744 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent in recent years, with roughly 3,700 miles covered between the July 2024 and August 2025 tests. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, evidenced by the multiple reports of perishing and cracking tyres in the records from 2022 and 2024. A buyer must specifically inspect the engine bay for persistent leaks, as vacuum leaks and poor idling were noted in both 2023 and 2024. The suspension system also requires a close look; the tester flagged worn Macpherson strut pins and bushes in 2021, and these components are prone to accelerated wear on older vehicles. Given the history of thin brake pads and worn discs noted in 2021, the current state of the braking system should be verified to ensure they are not again nearing the end of their service life.
