2011 ALFA ROMEO MITO1.4L Petrol

The Alfa Romeo Mito last secured an MOT pass on 27 August 2024 at 85,460 miles, but that certificate expired by 31 August 2025 and now sits almost eleven months lapsed relative to today's date of 14 July 2026, leaving the car legally unroadworthy until retested. The maintenance trend across the supplied records reads as stable, with no defects or advisories logged on any pass. On 23 August 2024 at 85,454 miles the DVSA issued a fail with no defects recorded, a strange anomaly corrected by the subsequent clean pass four days later. The odometer shows 85,460 miles on a 2011 hatchback, averaging roughly 5,700 miles per year, a low figure suggesting light use or prolonged storage. Mileage stepped from 71,865 in October 2020 to 74,106 by November 2021, then 79,293 in November 2022, and 85,454 in August 2024. That trajectory indicates gentle annual accumulation with no rapid spikes. The record is sparse, offering only five entries across six years, and each examination aside from the odd fail carries zero advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension or emissions, which may reflect limited inspection depth rather than flawless condition. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Low mileage often masks corrosion on structural members and exhaust systems, so examine subframe rust and drivetrain seals closely. The unexplained August 2024 rejection hints at either a paperwork error or an unrecorded fault swiftly rectified; verify the V5C and any repair receipts. Prior keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, yet the total absence of advisories on an Italian car of this vintage demands independent verification before purchase.
