Description
2009 Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.6 JTDM Lusso - Black - 6-speed manual - MOT until 29 Jan 2027
Here is my Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.6 JTDM diesel in black, in Lusso trim. It's a great little car. It's quick, it's cheap to run and a great overall first car.
Engine and running costs
1.6 turbo diesel with 120 bhp (unknown: possible remap taking it to 150 bhp) and lots of pulling power (320 Nm). It's strong on the motorway and overtakes easily.
6-speed manual gearbox

Interior
The cabin is in good condition for its age. The seats have no rips or tears. The headlining is clean. The dash and trim are all intact, and the boot carpet is tidy. You'll see some normal wear, for example on the door grab handles, radio buttons etc.
Condition - honest description
It's a 2009 car and it shows some marks. I've photographed all of them so there are no surprises:
Scuffs and scratches on the front bumper corner
Scuffs and a small dent on the rear bumper corner
Scratches on the rear quarter panel near the rear wheel
The plastic wheel-arch liner at the front is loose in one spot but the other side has been torn off.
The alloys have some kerb marks and wear
The tyres are a mix of brands, with some more worn than others
The last MOT gave advisories for a minor oil leak: "Oil leak, but not excessive" (since 2018-19), a front tyre getting close to the limit (since been replaced), and Front Headlamp lens slightly defective both (not fixed, minor, likely will pass)
Viewing is welcome, and a test drive is fine with proof of insurance. Cash or bank transfer on collection.
