2015 Alfa Romeo Mito 0.9L Petrol · LL65 ADV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding corrosion and suspension-related components. The most recent test in December 2025 at 69,205 miles identified corrosion on both rear coil springs. This follows the August 2024 inspection at 68,804 miles where the tester flagged corrosion across all four coil springs and the exhaust system. While the car continues to pass tests, the recurring presence of metal degradation suggests that environmental factors are impacting the chassis. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between December 2019 and January 2022, during which the car covered only 13,000 miles. Since 2022, the usage has remained steady, with roughly 16,000 miles recorded over the last four years. This low annual mileage often contributes to the premature aging of rubber components, such as the perishing rear tyres noted in the 2024 advisory. A buyer must personally inspect the undercarriage for structural rust, particularly around the exhaust and suspension mounting points which have shown repeated corrosion. The history of inner edge wear on the front tyres in 2019 and 2022 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires verification. Additionally, the brake system has shown signs of neglect with pitted discs in 2022 and binding rear calipers in 2019, necessitating a thorough check of caliper operation and pad thickness to ensure these issues have been fully rectified.
