2012 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · LD12 YSS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across the most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 77,529 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of consistent passes in 2024 and 2022. Although the vehicle failed a test in September 2023 at 66,919 miles, the immediate pass on the same day indicates that the identified faults were addressed and rectified promptly. The mileage pattern is characteristically low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between September 2024 and September 2025, the car covered 4,639 miles, suggesting steady but light usage. This low total mileage of 77,529 miles generally reduces mechanical stress on the drivetrain and engine compared to higher examples, though low-mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components such as bushings and seals, regardless of the low odometer reading. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Alfa Romeo vulnerabilities that do not always trigger an MOT failure. Prioritize an inspection of the underside for structural corrosion on rear arches and sills, where rust often accumulates over time. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the tyres for cracking or dry rot and check the brake discs for surface pitting or glazing from periods of inactivity. Examine the suspension bushes for signs of tearing to ensure the low mileage has not masked the age of the rubber materials.
