Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but verify service records. This 2014 Alfa Romeo MiTo diesel presents a relatively clean recent MOT history despite a pattern of minor failures in previous years.
When inspecting this specific diesel MiTo, prioritise checking the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been changed according to manufacturer intervals, which is critical for the 1.6L engine. Given the mileage is well above the statistical average for this model, look for evidence of regular oil changes.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the car has passed its recent tests, it has been driven much more heavily than the average MiTo in our database. Ensure you ask the seller why the vehicle failed its MOTs in 2024 and 2025 to confirm the repairs were comprehensive.
As a 1598cc diesel, this MiTo is designed for efficiency, likely offering competitive fuel economy for motorway commuting. Tax and insurance groups for this model vary, but the diesel engine typically sits in a moderate bracket.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for regular diesel-specific requirements, such as fuel filter changes and potential DPF considerations. Expect annual running costs to be influenced by the higher-than-average mileage, which may lead to more frequent wear-and-tear replacements like tyres or brakes.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the exhaust system, tyres, and coil springs, as these are the most common failure points for the MiTo. Even though the 2026 MOT had no defects, these components are prone to wear.
Specifically for this vehicle, check the condition of the tyres and brake pads, as the car has covered over 81,000 miles. Inspect the suspension components for any signs of knocking or play, which could indicate the coil spring issues common to this model type.
This grey 1.6L diesel Alfa Romeo MiTo (BD64VFX) has covered 81,297 miles since its registration in November 2014. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,886 miles per year, the most recent MOT in January 2026 showed no defects. The vehicle has experienced two MOT failures in the last three years, though these were resolved to achieve subsequent passes.
Aggregate data from 22,512 vehicles shows an average MOT pass rate of 75.0%, with common failures related to exhausts, tyres, and coil springs.
