2014 Alfa Romeo Mito 0.9L Petrol · PN64 WKA

The Alfa Romeo Mito’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-25 confirms it remains roadworthy at 84,287 miles, with no defects recorded. The test history shows a stable pattern of passing with no recurring mechanical failures, though the February 2025 and February 2024 retests—each just one mile apart—suggest minor administrative or procedural delays rather than mechanical issues. The vehicle’s clean pass in March 2026, combined with no advisories in prior tests, indicates it has not experienced persistent faults that would warrant immediate concern. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear; the next 12 months will be critical to verify whether the suspension, brakes, or corrosion remain stable. The recorded mileage of 84,287 miles over 12 years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 7,000 miles annually. There are no unusually large gaps between tests, though the February 2025 and February 2024 retests—each spanning just 24 hours—stand out as anomalies rather than indicators of neglect. The consistent mileage progression suggests regular driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which could have allowed corrosion or suspension degradation to develop undetected. Still, the absence of advisories on structural integrity or major components in any test implies no obvious signs of prolonged neglect. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear bushings and coil springs, given the Mito’s known susceptibility to wear in these areas. The brakes, while not explicitly failed, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the retest pattern could hint at marginal performance. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical area—though not flagged in MOTs, it often develops between tests. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be examined for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, as these are common failure points in Alfa Romeos of this era. The clean MOT history reduces risk, but these components warrant close scrutiny to confirm they have not deteriorated since the last test.
