2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · OU60 XAC

The 2010 Alfa Romeo Mito is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-09-22, which was passed with advisories on the rear brake discs and both rear tyres. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of recurring issues, particularly with the rear brake discs and rear tyres, which have been flagged in three of the last four MOT tests. While the vehicle has passed recently, the persistence of these defects suggests ongoing wear or neglect, especially given the low mileage for its age. The brake disc advisories indicate that while the components are not yet critical, they are approaching the end of their service life and may require replacement soon. The vehicle has accumulated only 48,645 miles over 16 years, averaging just over 3,000 miles per year. This is significantly below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has been lightly used or possibly stored for long periods. The MOT history shows a consistent gap of approximately 12 months between tests, with no signs of rapid mileage accumulation. The most recent test at 48,645 miles followed a 2024-09-24 test at 48,029 miles, indicating minimal use in the final year. This low usage may explain the overall good condition but also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been driven enough to properly maintain components like the suspension and drivetrain. Despite the recent pass, buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear brake system, as the repeated advisories on both rear brake discs suggest they are nearing replacement. The rear tyres, both showing signs of cracking and perishing, should be replaced immediately for safety and compliance. Additionally, the front inner brake disc has been flagged in multiple tests, warranting close attention to the front braking system. The vehicle’s history also includes advisories on exhaust emissions and a minor exhaust leak, which, while not critical, may indicate broader exhaust system degradation. A buyer should also inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points in Alfa Romeo models and may show signs of fatigue given the age and mileage.
