2009 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · AV59 CLZ

The 2025‑10‑17 MOT at 21,357 miles produced a pass, yet the identical test date’s failure record reveals the near‑side front tyre sidewall damage and a non‑functional washer, meaning the vehicle is presently roadworthy only with noted defects and shows no clear long‑term improvement despite the recent pass. Mileage has risen steadily from 18,205 miles in 2017 to 21,357 miles in 2025, an increase of 3,152 miles over eight years, averaging roughly 394 miles per year; the interval between the 2024‑10‑04 test at 21,002 miles and the 2025‑10‑17 test shows only 355 miles in 13 months, indicating relatively low recent usage and no abrupt mileage spikes. Recurring suspension arm pin or bush wear (5.3.4 (a) (i)) and deteriorated anti‑roll bar ball joint dust covers (5.3.4 (b) (i)–(ii)) appear in multiple years, suggesting potential suspension fatigue, while repeated disc wear and occasional serious weakening (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) point to brake system concerns; persistent tyre cuts, sidewall damage and occasional ply exposure, together with minor exhaust corrosion and washer failures, indicate that a buyer should inspect suspension components, brake discs, tyre condition, exhaust integrity and washer functionality during an in‑person assessment.
