2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.4L Petrol · RV60 DFP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive ownership. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 108,496 miles, it did so with a known minor exhaust leak and an oil leak from the nearside driveshaft oil seal. These issues were previously flagged during a failure in April 2026, which also cited a critical ABS system fault and multiple tyre failures. The persistence of the exhaust leak suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with roughly 6,300 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 9,400 miles between April 2025 and 2026. This consistent use suggests the car does not sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals, though it explains the gradual wear on tyres and suspension noted in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking system. The record shows recurring issues with corroded coil springs across 2024 and a noisy offside rear wheel bearing noted in 2025, indicating the suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The ABS failure in April 2026 is a significant electronic concern that requires verification to ensure the sensor or module has been properly repaired. Additionally, the ongoing oil leak from the nearside driveshaft seal should be monitored for flow rate to prevent damage to the gearbox or internal components.
