2012 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · FG62 UBM

The Alfa Romeo Mito presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 October 2025 at 69,217 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. No advisories or failures appear in any entry from 2021 to 2025, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the MOT regime during this period. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 14-year-old car. In the 21 September 2021 test the odometer read 53,550 miles; by 2 November 2022 it stood at 57,132, then 60,162 on 25 October 2023, 67,242 on 28 October 2024, and 69,217 on 18 October 2025. Annual accumulation averaged under 4,000 miles in the early years and rose to roughly 7,000 between 2023 and 2024, before dropping to under 2,000 in the final year. The sparse five-entry record shows no test gaps and no sudden jumps that would imply commercial abuse. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low standing mileage alongside the 2024 to 2025 slowdown suggests the car may sit unused for weeks at a time, a pattern that accelerates perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and corroding brake discs through lack of movement. The absence of advisories means suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust emissions were within limits on the day of each test but offers no forward view of latent wear. Prospective owners should confirm underbody structural integrity for rust, check brake calipers for binding after the low-use year, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the age of the vehicle. The DVSA record supports a favourable verdict, yet the 2012 build date demands hands-on scrutiny of consumables the test does not routinely fail.
