How we use engine sizes.
Alfa Romeo Mito fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Alfa Romeo Mito from 2009 to 2018. On the NEDC test (listings 2009 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 43.5 to 83.1 mpg, with CO2 of 89 to 153 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2009 to 2018
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2009 to 2018
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “MiTo”, “MiTo, 2012 onwards”, “MiTo Series 3, September 2016 Onwards”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Alfa Romeo Mito safety recalls
DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Alfa Romeo Mito since 1992, the first in 2012. The most recent was launched on 30 November 2017.
Front seat belt pretensioner could malfunction during deployment
Launched 30 November 2017DVSA recall R/2017/268Manufacturer ref. 6144
Defect
Due to a potential non-conformity in the supplier's production process the front seat belt pretensioner could malfunction and the front seat belt pretensioner may not function as intended in the event of a deployment. The locking mechanism operates independently from the pretensioner therefore locking mechanism functionality is still guaranteed.
Remedy
Fit new seat belt assembly to either the driver or passenger front seat or both. The seat belt assembly to be replaced will be determined on the vehicle VIN/ chassis number which will be checked against a list to ensure the correct operation carried out.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Alfa Romeo Mito. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
