2014 Alfa Romeo Mito 0.9L Petrol · MK14 SOA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and component degradation. The most recent test in March 2026 at 79,192 miles passed with an advisory for a noisy offside rear wheel bearing. This follows a period of increasing defects between 2024 and 2025, indicating that the vehicle is now entering a phase where multiple wear components require proactive replacement. At 79,192 miles, the Alfa Romeo Mito has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a twelve-year-old car. The record shows consistent use between tests, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 8,362 miles between April 2025 and March 2026. This steady mileage suggests the car has not sat idle for long periods, yet the low annual mileage has not prevented the age-related corrosion of metal components and rubber components. A buyer must specifically inspect the braking and suspension systems during a physical evaluation. The 2025 test flagged a corroded offside front coil spring and pitted brake discs on both rear wheels, which were already noted as worn in 2024. The recurring mention of brake disc surface condition suggests the owner may be delaying routine replacements until they reach a critical failure point. Furthermore, the noisy wheel bearing identified in the 2026 test requires immediate attention to ensure it does not lead to damage to the hub assembly.
