2011 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · PF60 PXO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest test in February 2026 at 85,602 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of mechanical neglect in 2024 and 2025. While the earlier tests identified multiple areas of concern, the most recent record indicates that the owner addressed the previous faults to bring the car into compliance. At 15 years old, the recorded 85,602 miles represent low usage averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. This low mileage suggests periods of inactivity, particularly evidenced by the two-year gap between February 2022 and January 2024 during which only 3,982 miles were covered. The tester's note in January 2024 that the car appeared to have been stood explains the presence of pitting and scoring on the brake discs, which are common symptoms of vehicles sitting long periods without regular use. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the structural integrity of the front sub-frame which was flagged for corrosion in early 2024. Although the record states rigidity was not significantly reduced at that time, this component is prone to further degradation on older Italian cars. You should also verify the rear coil springs and the offside front shock absorber, as these were noted as worn or corroded in 2025 and must have been replaced to achieve the clean pass. The braking system and exhaust also require scrutiny due to a history of pitted discs and mounting corrosion. The 2025 test identified worn discs all around and a corroded rear back box, suggesting the metal components were reaching the end of their functional life due to age rather. Given the low mileage and history of standing, check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber suspension bushes to ensure the recent repairs have been effectively executed.
