2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · JB04 XJB

The Alfa Romeo Mito presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT on 3 June 2025 at 79,722 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The owner cleared both the 2024 and 2025 tests after initial administrative failures logged one day prior at near-identical mileages, suggesting paperwork or presentation issues rather than mechanical defects. Recorded mileage sits at 79,722 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 4,983 miles per year. The car covered only 2,079 miles between the September 2023 test at 70,123 miles and the June 2024 failure at 72,200 miles, then added 7,520 miles by June 2025. Low annual use over sixteen years implies prolonged standing periods, which commonly accelerates rubber perishing in suspension bushes, degraded brake caliper seals, and flat-spotted tyres even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural corrosion on sills and subframes, given the age and low-use pattern. Check the brake discs for surface pitting from inactivity and verify the coil springs are free of fracture. The twin same-day fail-pass entries in 2024 and 2025 with no defects noted point to non-mechanical test anomalies, not deferred upkeep. No recurring consumable wear or serious mechanical risk appears in the DVSA data. The absence of advisories across five tests indicates either diligent pre-test preparation or a genuinely sound example. Confirm service history and proof of regular fluid changes to offset the mileage standstill pattern before purchase.
