Our Verdict
This 2015 Alfa Romeo Mito presents a lar
When inspecting this Mito, examine the underbody structure closely to assess the extent of the corrosion noted on the rear axle and front suspension arms during the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests. Check the steering components for play, particularly given the recorded split front track rod end dust covers. It is also important to request a comprehensive service history to verify whether routine maintenance has kept pace with the vehicle's age.
Negotiate on the price if these advisory items—such as the suspension arm corrosion and split dust covers—have not been rectified prior to purchase. Ensure all electrical features, the DNA driving mode selector, and the TwinAir engine characteristics operate smoothly during a test drive. Verifying the condition of the tyres is also essential, referencing the near-limit wear noted on the offside front tyre in late 2024.
Equipped with an 875.0cc petrol engine, this Mito benefits from modest fuel consumption typical of smaller displacement engines. Insurance groupings for this model variant are generally moderate, making it accessible for a wide range of drivers, though quotes should be verified prior to purchase. Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) will apply based on standard UK taxation bands for petrol vehicles of its registration year.
Maintenance costs should factor in potential remedial work for the advisory items noted on recent MOT certificates, such as replacing split dust covers or treating underbody corrosion before it worsens. Routine servicing remains vital for the 875cc powerplant to ensure long-term mechanical stability. Estimated annual running costs fall in the region of £1,100-£1,400, encompassing fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance.
Pay close attention to the front suspension arms and rear axle, which have accumulated repeated advisories for corrosion across the 2024 and 2025 MOT tests. Inspect the front track rod end dust covers following the 2024 and 2025 test notes indicating they are split, as failure of these boots can lead to premature joint wear.
Inspect the tyres carefully for uneven wear patterns, keeping in mind the 2024 advisory regarding the offside front inner tyre worn close to the legal limit. Check all standard model failure points identified in aggregate data, including headlamps and exhaust components, to ensure everything functions correctly and meets roadworthiness standards.
First registered in May 2015, this red petrol Alfa Romeo Mito with an 875.0cc engine has covered 39,031 miles by December 2025. The vehicle holds a consistent record of passing all recorded MOT tests from 2021 through 2025. However, recent MOT tests highlight repeating advisories regarding underbody corrosion and rubber component wear that require careful inspection.
Alfa Romeo Mito models achieve an average MOT pass rate of 74.9% across the UK fleet, with common failure points typically involving exhaust systems, headlamps, and tyres.
