2016 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · DF66 ABO

This Alfa Romeo Mito has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded across all five tests, including the most recent examination on 2025-10-27. The vehicle passed both the primary and supplementary tests on that date, confirming no immediate failures in brakes, steering, suspension, emissions, or structural integrity. While the duplicate entries suggest a rare administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue, the absence of any recurring faults indicates the tester did not identify any persistent problems during the 2025 test cycle. However, the lack of advisories—even minor ones—means no pre-existing conditions were flagged for attention before the 2025 test. The recorded mileage of 19,077 miles at the time of the latest test reflects an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 1,908 miles over the past decade. This suggests the vehicle has experienced minimal use, which could imply either storage periods or very light daily driving. The mileage increments between tests are consistent: 1,632 miles between 2024 and 2025, and 1,432 miles between 2023 and 2024, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged gaps. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, and drivetrain synchronisers, it does not guarantee these elements have been maintained. The absence of MOT advisories means no pre-existing wear was formally noted, but this does not preclude gradual degradation over time. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension geometry and front coil springs, as these are common points of wear in Alfa Romeo models of this age. The brakes, though not failed, should be checked for uneven pad thickness, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs—common issues in lightly driven cars where moisture accumulates. Tyre condition, despite no MOT failures, warrants scrutiny, as the lack of advisories in prior tests could indicate either consistent tread depth or a history of deferred replacements. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, especially around the sills and subframe mounts, as prolonged storage can accelerate rust formation even at low mileages. No major structural concerns are suggested by the MOT history, but these areas remain critical for long-term reliability.
