2012 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.6L Diesel · MF12 ADU

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent recorded test on 23 June 2022 at 67,723 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories noted. This follows a consistent five-year period of clean passes dating back to 2017, indicating that the vehicle has avoided the common structural corrosion or mechanical failures often seen in older Italian hatchbacks. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental increase in distance covered, moving from 25,433 miles in May 2015 to 67,723 miles in June 2022. This pattern suggests regular but light usage rather than long periods of total inactivity. Such low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it can sometimes lead to dried seals or battery issues if the car sits for extended durations. Because the MOT history shows no recorded failures or advisories regarding brake pads, discs, or tyre tread, the digital record suggests a high standard of upkeep. However, the lack of recent testing since mid-2022 means the vehicle is currently overdue for an inspection relative to the July 2026 date. A buyer must verify that a current MOT is in place and conduct a physical inspection of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can perish from age regardless of low mileage. A physical inspection should also focus on checking for any signs of underside corrosion or fluid leaks that may have developed since the last recorded test. While the historical data is flawless, the gap in documentation necessitates a thorough check of the braking system for binding calipers and an assessment of the exhaust system for structural integrity.
