2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · OU60 XAX

The Alfa Romeo Mito is currently roadworthy, with its most recent MOT test on 2023-09-08 confirming a clean pass at 57,131 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, with no defects recorded in the last three consecutive passes, indicating consistent care and attention to mechanical integrity. The vehicle has not shown any signs of recurring issues, and the absence of advisories or critical faults suggests that the owner has addressed any concerns promptly. The mileage progression shows a low annual average of approximately 3,571 miles over 16 years, which is well below the UK average for vehicles of this age. This suggests the car has been lightly used or stored for extended periods, reducing wear on components like the engine, transmission, and suspension. The MOT history is clean and consistent, with no significant gaps between tests, and no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation. The only anomaly is the failed test on 2021-10-11, which occurred just one day before the successful retest on 2021-10-12—this likely reflects a minor oversight or a temporary fault that was quickly resolved. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points on Alfa Romeo models and may show signs of fatigue even with low mileage. The front suspension components should also be checked for binding or excessive play. Brake discs and pads should be examined for uneven wear or corrosion, especially given the age of the vehicle. While no structural rust was flagged in the MOTs, the car’s body should be inspected for hidden corrosion in wheel arches and underbody areas, as Alfa Romeos can be prone to rust in these locations. A test drive is essential to assess the responsiveness of the steering and the condition of the braking system.
