2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · CK10 OKC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 8 September 2025 at 114,095 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. The car failed its tests in both September 2024 and September 2025 just days before the re-tests, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once a formal MOT certificate was at risk rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with typical low-annual usage, averaging approximately 7,131 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. Between August 2023 at 94,045 miles and September 2024 at 104,442 miles, the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles, followed by another 9,653 miles recorded between September 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of rubber-based components like engine seals, bushings, and timing belts. Because the recent MOT records show no recorded defects despite the failures, a physical inspection must focus on common failure points for the Alfa Romeo Mito platform. A buyer should specifically examine the structural integrity of the rear sills and rear wheel arches, as corrosion is a known weak point on this chassis. Given the age and mileage, the front suspension should be checked for worn control arm bushes and perished coil springs, while the brake system should be inspected for binding or excessive wear that might have triggered the last-minute failures noted in the history.
