2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · LM60 AEB

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following a successful MOT on 23 July 2025 at 126,291 miles. The recent testing history shows a brief period of volatility in July 2025, where the car failed two tests at 126,263 and 126,282 miles before passing. While the specific reasons for these failures were not documented in the provided record, the immediate subsequent pass suggests that the issues were resolved quickly, likely through minor adjustments or the replacement of consumable parts. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age. The car has covered 126,291 miles over 16 years, averaging approximately 7,893 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 111,579 miles in March 2023 to 119,680 miles in March 2024, and finally to 126,291 miles in July 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which is generally positive for maintaining seals and preventing fluid degradation. Since the recent failures did not specify the mechanical faults, a physical inspection is required to ensure no underlying issues persist. Focus should be placed on the suspension system, specifically checking for worn bushes or leaking dampers, and inspecting the underside for structural corrosion. Given the recent failures occurred within a very short mileage window, it is prudent to check the brake discs for uneven wear and ensure the calipers are not binding. The lack of recorded advisories in the recent years of testing is a positive indicator of general upkeep. However, the buyer should verify the service history to confirm that oil changes and essential component replacements have been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule. Pay close attention to the exhaust system and emissions, as these are common areas for wear on high-mileage Italian vehicles.
