Our Verdict
Approach this 2015 Alfa Romeo MiTo with caution and budget for minor but recurring fixes. The MOT history shows repeated small failures that are easily resolved but suggest inconsistent maintenance.
Before buying, ask for evidence that the October 2025 failures (rear tyres perishing, offside front wiper, offside rear plate lamp) were repaired, as the pass and fail are dated the same day suggesting a quick retest. Check the service history for regular intervals given the 2015 car's age and the fact that the 2024 failure included a supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault that should have been professionally diagnosed. Use the repeated minor failures as leverage to negotiate a lower price or request the seller replaces the rear tyres and wiper before collection.
The 875cc twin-air petrol engine in this MiTo is small and should return reasonable fuel economy, though no official figures are provided in the data. As a 2015 petrol under 1.0 litre it will fall into a lower VED band, but insurance group and exact costs are not stated. Typical annual running costs for a small petrol hatch of this age with around 51,000 miles, including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance, are estimated at £800-£1,000.
Inspect the rear tyres closely as the October 2025 MOT noted cracking or perishing on both sides at 51,081 miles and they may need replacement soon. Verify the offside front windscreen wiper clears effectively and the offside rear registration lamp works, as both failed the 2025 test. Given the 2024 failure for SRS warning lamp and non-working horn and dipped beam, confirm these were fixed and have the airbag system scanned for stored fault codes.
This white 875cc petrol MiTo (MV65NKX) first registered in September 2015 has covered 51,081 miles as of its October 2025 MOT, which is modest for a 10-year-old car. The MOT record includes two failures in the last two years for items such as horn, headlamp, SRS warning, wipers, number plate lamp and perishing rear tyres, though each was followed by a pass on retest. No aggregate reliability data is available for the MiTo, so assessment rests solely on this vehicle's own history.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Alfa Romeo MiTo, so reliability cannot be benchmarked against the model as a whole.
