2014 Alfa Romeo Mito 0.9L Petrol · MC14 AFF

The 2025‑11‑24 MOT at 85,501 miles resulted in a pass, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards. Although the record shows a series of failures between 2022 and 2024, the most recent outcome suggests a modest improvement, though recurring defects in suspension, brakes and structural corrosion indicate that the underlying condition has not been fully resolved. The car is twelve years old and has accumulated 85,501 miles, averaging roughly 7,100 miles per year; however, the mileage curve is not steady. From 2020 to 2023 the annual increase was modest, but the jump from 70,381 miles in November 2024 to 85,206 miles in November 2025 represents an addition of over 14,800 miles in a single year, suggesting intensified use or long periods of standing that have compressed mileage accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the front lower suspension arm pin and bush, the rear coil spring and shock absorber condition, and verify that the front brake discs are not excessively worn beyond the recorded 1.1.14 (a) (i) limits. Particular attention must be given to the corroded front sub‑frame, rear axle and coil springs, as well as the exhaust mounting and front pipe, which have repeatedly been cited for defects and Lambda failures. Tyre wear on the inner edges of both front tyres and the near‑side rear tyre points to possible alignment or suspension issues that should be checked. Finally, the presence of oil leaks, a cracked exhaust hanger and persistent rust on structural components means the vehicle should be examined for hidden corrosion and fluid seepage before purchase, as these factors can accelerate wear on adjacent mechanical parts.
