2016 Alfa Romeo Mito 0.9L Petrol · NV16 CCD

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 13 June 2025 at 50,242 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the car has consistently passed without recorded defects or advisories over the last three years. While the record shows failures in 2024 and 2025, the lack of listed defects on those failure sheets suggests minor issues were rectified immediately prior to the retest rather than indicating systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 39,570 miles and the June 2024 test at 44,971 miles, the car covered 5,401 miles, indicating consistent but light usage. This low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as tyres, bushings, and fluid seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between trips. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and bushings, as low-mileage cars often suffer from perished rubber due to age rather than friction. Checking the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensuring calipers are not binding is essential, as infrequent use can lead to sticking. Given the age of the Alfa Romeo, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and wing arches for corrosion remains a priority to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage.
