2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.2L Diesel · VE60 LHF

This 2010 Alfa Romeo Mito has covered approximately 99,000 miles, which is a moderate and expected distance for a vehicle of this age. While the annual average is reasonable, the lack of a valid MOT certificate since November 2022 is a significant concern, as it suggests the car may have been off the road or unused for over three years. The vehicle's history reveals a recurring pattern of neglect regarding basic maintenance and safety-critical components. You should be particularly wary of the repeated failure of the engine management system, evidenced by the Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) issues noted in both 2021 and 2022. This indicates persistent electrical or sensor faults that have not been permanently resolved. There is a clear trend of worsening mechanical condition. The MOT records show a consistent history of advisory and failure items related to suspension, braking, and tyre health. Specifically, the mention of rear coil spring corrosion and worn, pitted brake discs suggests that the suspension and braking systems are nearing the end of their service life and will likely require immediate investment. The most alarming development is the note regarding underside corrosion in the final 2022 test. Given the car's age and the fact that it has sat idle for a long period, there is a high risk that this corrosion has progressed significantly, potentially compromising the structural integrity of the chassis or subframes.
