2008 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · RE58 CPK

This 2008 Alfa Romeo Mito has covered approximately 94,238 miles, averaging roughly 5,235 miles per year. While this is considered low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, the MOT history suggests the car has been used consistently rather than left standing for long periods. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to accelerated corrosion or seized components if the car is used only for very short, stop-start journeys. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be slightly worsening. While the car has secured a pass in every test since 2022, the frequency and nature of the recorded advisories are increasing. In the 2023 test, the car had a clean record, but the 2024 and 2025 tests have introduced recurring concerns regarding the braking system. The primary risk pattern identified in the history is the degradation of the braking components. Both the 2024 and 2025 MOTs flagged issues with the discs and service brakes. Specifically, the 2024 report noted that both front and rear discs were worn, pitted, or scored, and the 2025 report identified fluctuating performance on the front service brakes. This suggests that the braking system is reaching a point where replacement parts will be required soon, rather than just monitoring.
