2010 Alfa Romeo Mito 1.6L Diesel · WM10 NVU

The most recent MOT on 26 April 2024 recorded a pass at 123,729 miles with no defects noted, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the statutory roadworthiness requirements. The preceding failure on 22 April 2024, also at 123,729 miles, listed no specific faults, suggesting the failure was likely administrative or related to a minor, quickly remedied issue. With consecutive passes in 2023 and 2024 and no recurring advisories, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. Across the recorded history the mileage has risen from 109,435 miles on 11 November 2021 to 114,519 miles on 14 April 2023, an increase of 5,084 miles over roughly 17 months (≈3,400 miles per year). Between April 2023 and April 2024 the vehicle added 9,210 miles, averaging about 9,200 miles per year, which is higher than the earlier rate but still within typical usage for a 16‑year‑old car. No significant gaps or unexplained jumps are evident; the mileage progression aligns with a vehicle that has seen moderate, consistent use. A prospective buyer should verify that the apparent administrative failures have been fully resolved. Inspect the suspension for worn bushes or cracked coil springs, as these components can develop fatigue under higher annual mileage. Check the brake system—look for any signs of binding calipers, uneven disc wear, or fluid leakage—given the lack of recorded brake advisories but the possibility of hidden wear. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as consumable wear is not reflected in the MOT record. Finally, scan the underbody for corrosion, especially around the chassis and exhaust mounts, and confirm that the exhaust emissions system remains clear of leaks or excessive smoke. These checks will corroborate the clean MOT history and ensure no latent structural or mechanical issues have been overlooked.
