2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · CE60 KWZ

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on March 19, 2025, at 134,872 miles, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of mechanical degradation. Recurring failures across multiple tests indicate ongoing issues with drivetrain components, suspension integrity, and structural corrosion. The vehicle is showing signs of progressive wear rather than stable condition. The recorded mileage of 134,872 miles over 16 years places it within the expected range for its age. However, the MOT history shows rapid deterioration in specific areas. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle failed twice, with issues including severely deteriorated drive shaft boots, fractured offside front coil spring, and significant damage to track rod end ball joints. This pattern suggests that critical mechanical components are failing more quickly than typical wear and tear would dictate. A buyer must inspect the drive shaft boots and any associated rubber grommets immediately, as they have been flagged repeatedly for severe deterioration. The suspension system requires close scrutiny, particularly the offside front coil spring and track rod end ball joints, which were noted as fractured or excessively damaged. Furthermore, the history shows evidence of structural corrosion on the rear exhaust casings and the Macpherson strut, which should be assessed for any signs of serious weakening. Finally, the parking brake efficiency was noted as being below requirements in the 2024 test, suggesting potential issues with the brake system adjustment or components. The steering rack inner joint play also appeared in previous tests, which warrants checking for any looseness or play when operating the vehicle.
