2015 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · FD65 CEN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 8 April 2026 with no defects recorded. When reviewing the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable, with a notable period of attention following the September 2025 test. That particular inspection highlighted several wear-related advisories concerning the braking system, suspension, and exhaust, all of which were cleared by the subsequent 2026 test. This suggests a proactive approach to maintenance and a vehicle that is currently in a roadworthy state. With a recorded mileage of 48,649 miles over an eleven year period, this Alfa Romeo has averaged approximately 4,423 miles per year. This is considerably lower than the national average for a vehicle of this age. While low mileage generally implies reduced mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it often introduces risks associated with prolonged periods of inactivity. Such usage patterns can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of moisture in critical systems. Despite the clean most recent MOT, the buyer should verify the resolution of the 2025 advisories. Specifically, inspect the rear shock absorbers for any signs of oil leaking from the seals, as misting often precedes total failure and affects ride quality and tyre wear. During a test drive, listen for knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces and check for excessive bouncing. Ensure the front brake pads have been replaced rather than simply remaining at a minimum legal limit, and inspect the rear exhaust section for signs of significant corrosion or patching that may have been overlooked. Given the low annual mileage, particular attention must be paid to age-related deterioration. Carefully examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as tyres can expire due to age even if the tread depth remains legal. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur when a car stands for long periods and may lead to brake shudder. Finally, verify the service history to ensure oil and other fluids have been changed based on time intervals rather than mileage alone, and test the 12V battery health to ensure it has not been compromised by infrequent charging cycles.
