2014 Alfa Romeo Mito 0.9L Petrol · WA14 NBK

The most recent MOT (2025-07-23) showed minor but notable issues: front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored (though not seriously weakened), a nearside rear wheel was slightly distorted, and front track rod end dust covers were damaged. These are manageable but suggest wear on braking and suspension components. No major safety risks were flagged, but the presence of multiple minor defects indicates potential ongoing maintenance needs. The MOT history reveals a stable pattern of minor issues. While 2024 and 2023 MOTs had no recorded defects, the 2022 MOT noted tyre wear and perishing, which were not repeated in subsequent checks. However, the 2025 MOT reintroduces braking and suspension concerns, suggesting these systems may require closer attention. No clear worsening trend is evident, but recurring defects in critical areas (brakes, suspension) should not be ignored. The vehicle’s mileage (49,593 miles over 12 years) is low—roughly 4,133 miles per year. This could reflect light use or long periods of inactivity. Lower mileage often correlates with less wear on consumables like brakes and tyres, but it can also lead to issues such as seized components, corrosion, or degraded fluids from infrequent use.
