Had mine for 10 years in Tornado blue. Only done 57K so it’s had a quiet life. Essential to have it serviced regularly, once a year, which in my case is by a trusted, local, family owned garage. Beyond wear and tear items it’s had its radiator and air con core replaced because of rust and as mentioned here, the suspension springs are a weakness and have been replaced…..and in the case of the front, twice. But they are not expensive. Despite the low mileage, I watch the timing belt life spans carefully, so the Mito is about to go in for its fourth. It’s never failed me on the road and starts first time. It’s really been a pleasure to own and I intend to keep it.

Loved my Mito, always thought it deserved better reviews than it got. I had a 2012 1.6D - good mix of power for the size of the car and economy. Gripped well and could shift when you wanted it to. It did have a few issues with coolant loss (EGR casing cracking which I think was a common issue) and this happened a couple of times which may have contributed to a subsequent radiator leak. Wheel bearings seemed a weak point too, replaced them more often than tyres! I had the C635 gearbox rather than M32 and in winter it could be very stiff when selecting 1st/2nd but changing the oil grade helped. One thing that disappointed me was bubbling paint on the bootlid below the Alfa badge/boot release - didn’t think that was acceptable on a 4 year old car. Final nail in the coffin for mine was when the starter motor died in busy traffic one day. Ended up trading it for a 2008 Brera S which is a different breed and a real step up, and so far no trouble compared to the Mito, but do still have a little soft spot for it.
@robsawalker4 жыл бұрын
ewanwallace1 totally agree, what most reviews neglect to mention is how much more special they make you feel than in a boring Festa or Polo. You’ll never park up a fiesta and look back (unless it’s an ST) but you totally would a Mito. They just feel more special.

If you take a look at all the MiTos for sale currently on autotrader and put the reg number into dvla's MOT history check website, you will see that the vast majority of MiTos which are older than 4 years suffer from corrosion, oil leaks, gearbox oil leaks, broken coil springs, EML (engine management light) on, and other suspension related problems. The Multi Air unit is also prone to fail. Costs about £900 to replace i think(supply and fit). Unfortunately unless you specifically ask for the "oil strainer" to be changed when oil is changed along with filter it will not be. It is recommended changing oil every 6 months with the MA units.

Another common fault on the exterior is the hatch opening button / heated rear screen / wiper failure. All of these generally have the same solution, replace the cables that go through the flexi section between the body and the hatch. I'd add on the interior, that silly cubby hole drawer to the right of the steering wheel is the flimsiest bit of the MiTo, they have a tendency to not latch and then fall open when driving.

Your right about the paint, my Rosso paint chips very easily, but the only other issues I've had are two n/s/r wheel bearing replacement's and n/s front spring X2 replacement. It's serviced as required by the book and surprises many an Audi and BMW up to 80. It's been very reliable and cruises very well, it has cruise control (2012). Underneath is very good too although the exhaust will need replacing soonish as the outer shroud on the back box has split. The rear boot spoiler has clear coat peel and am struggling to get the spoiler off currently, any ideas on that? But on the whole it's a great car and I've been getting as much as 71 AVG mpg before the cam belt change, (driving miss daisy) if you're thinking about owning a MiTo (Milano/Torino) go and get yourself one, just buy wisely 👍🏻😃

How often Multiair goes bad on how many miles? Are they as bad as BMW PSA Prince engines with Valvetronic and VANOS? Thank you. I'm looking to buy 1.4 105hp version from 2010.

as long as its filled with the correct oil filter is cleaned and its changed often it will be fine.

Bro, please tell me about TCT gearbox- is it reliable?? And can you tell me about Grande Punto avtomatic gearbox PLEASE 🫶? I lost my leg from cancer, and I can drive only automatic car. Can you help me with this information bro please 🙏
@Manito-qs7uq5 ай бұрын
If you want a reliable automatic you'd be better off with a Japanese one. Toyota Yaris Hybrid comes to mind. Those CVT's are pretty reliable. Fiat is pretty average reliability wise, but the gearboxes were one of the weak points of the car.

Hello Neil .. Is it correct what I have been told that a way you can tell a TB155 from all the other Mito’s available is that the TB155 has a twin tail pipe exhaust where others like the one you featured has only a one tail pipe ??
@ItaliaAutos5 жыл бұрын
I dont think they all do.
@chrisrichmond4035 жыл бұрын
So the only way if you want it to be specific Engine Mito such as a TB155 is look on the V5 then or are there any clues on the car itself that proves it’s a TB155 over say a TB120 ??
@1THop15 жыл бұрын
You can also see the larger front brake calipers on the 155. The tailpipe is usually what I judge by though (clover leafs also have the twin pipe though)

Deividas Navickas The key thing now is I have a clearer idea of what to look for when I am looking to purchase a TB155 Mito . Compared to Alfa’s of the late 90’s up to the 159 the Some Mito’s are not the easiest cars to identify especially the TB155’s .

Want to buy a Mito. Don't. Want a Mito because it is a fun to drive premium small car- get a Mini. Want one because it is an Alfa Romeo - get a Giulietta. Want one because it is an italian small car- get a Punto. Only the top version is woth it. The same engine is offered only in the Grande Punto Abarth which unlike the regular Punto is actually more expensive than the Mito.
