Is the Alfa Romeo Mito ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 20,732 MOT tests, around 86% of Alfa Romeo Mitos still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 11% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 3%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 85% petrol, 15% diesel. Every petrol Mito in the data (2009 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Diesel Mitos are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Mito
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (85% of Mitos tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (15% of Mitos tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
Mitos from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (3% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Alfa Romeo can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Alfa Romeo Mito for London: what the MOT data shows
The Alfa Romeo Mitos in this data were first registered between 2009 and 2018. 2009 was the most common year, with 4,058 tests (20% of the total), and half were registered in 2011 or later.
Mitos from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 62% of the time, at an average of 73,120 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 60% of the time with 80,460 miles on average.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Mitos likely to comply are from 2016. 89 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 71% of the time and averaged 45,784 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Mito's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "fractured or broken" (8.9% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working on dipped beam" (3.8%); brakes: "efficiency below requirements" (3.4%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 17.9% of tests.
Overall, 62% of Mitos passed first time, well below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 73,356 miles on average, close to the 73,145-mile average.
