2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Dsign SE 4X2 CVT 1.5L Petrol · D10 KEF

A consistent record of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recent history, with the most recent test on 28 February 2026 showing no defects recorded. This trend of passing inspections without failures or advisories has been maintained across the three recorded tests since October 2023, indicating that no specific mechanical components have been flagged for wear or deterioration during these official examinations. The vehicle has covered 48,979 miles over its approximately six-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual usage of roughly 8,163 miles. This mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this level of usage suggests that components such as the CVT transmission, suspension bushes, and braking system have been subject to moderate, regular operation rather than the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial use or the potential stagnation issues often seen in very low-mileage vehicles. Because the MOT history contains no recorded advisories for items such as brake pipe corrosion, suspension linkage wear, or exhaust system deterioration, there are no specific mechanical defects to investigate based on official documentation. On a test drive, focus should remain on verifying the smoothness of the CVT transmission by checking for any unusual drone or hesitation during acceleration, and monitoring the steering for any pulling or vibration that might indicate issues with the wheel bearings or suspension geometry not yet captured by the MOT testing process. Further inspection should include checking for any fluid leaks around the engine and gearbox to ensure no oil misting or weeping is present, as these are not always flagged in an MOT unless they reach a level of significant leakage. Additionally, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension when navigating uneven surfaces, which would help confirm the integrity of the shock absorbers and bushings.
