2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · EO10 ACX

The Alfa Romeo Mito presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 3 July 2025 at 71,266 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recent history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 2 July 2025 at the same mileage, though the DVSA record lists no defects for either entry. This suggests an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle met standards at that point. Recorded mileage sits at 71,266 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 4,454 miles per year. The car covered only 5,523 miles between the December 2021 test at 62,560 miles and the November 2022 test at 65,743 miles, then 5,321 miles to the June 2024 test at 71,064 miles. A gap exists between November 2022 and June 2024 with no intermediate test, but annualised use stayed low throughout. The sparse record shows no advisories on any pass, implying either careful storage or light urban use with little heavy wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's sixteen years regardless of low mileage. Prolonged standing invites perished rubber components and surface corrosion on structural members beneath the sills. The twin 2025 tests at identical mileage warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm the failure cause was non-mechanical. No recurring faults appear in the MOT data to signal worsening condition. The clean advisories across five tests mean no trend of neglected consumables such as tyres or wiper blades is evident. Pre-purchase examination should focus on age-related degradation invisible to the MOT rather than documented defects.
