Common Problems: ALFA ROMEO MITO

Like the Giulietta, the MiTo’s 1.4 MultiAir engine can misfire or run badly if oil changes were stretched or the wrong oil was used.
- Blue&Me and Hatch Wiring Faults(Moderate)
MiTos commonly suffer from failed Blue&Me modules, dead USB ports and broken hatch wiring that take out the boot switch or rear lights.
- Front Suspension Bush and Spring Wear(Moderate)
The MiTo’s sporty setup means front bushes, top mounts and springs are frequent UK MOT advisory items on tired cars.
