Moderate sample. 404 vehicles on record. Figures are indicative — the specific vehicle's history matters more than these averages.
The 2018 Alfa Romeo Mito passes its first MOT 4.4 percentage points above the UK average at 84.4%, which is a solid result, but nearly a quarter of these cars (23.0%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—well above the typical threshold, so a pre-purchase inspection is essential. The median mileage of 26,793 miles is reasonable for a six-year-old car, yet the Mito averages 1.08 failures and 6.5 advisories per vehicle, suggesting electrics and trim items are the main culprits rather than structural problems.
When shopping for one, focus on whether it has recent MOT history showing no dangerous defects recorded, and factor in a modest budget for advisory repairs—particularly lighting and minor corrosion work that's common to the age and mileage profile.
The 2018 Alfa Romeo Mito passes its MOT first time at roughly the UK average rate (84.4%) — solid but worth checking this vehicle's history carefully.
These stats describe 404 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
