2016 MITSUBISHI MIRAGE1.2L Petrol

This Mitsubishi Mirage presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 11 August 2025 at 41,708 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common wear-and-tear failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,171 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2022 test at 30,241 miles and the August 2025 test at 41,708 miles shows a steady, light usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or commercial application. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding faults. A failure on 13 August 2024 at 38,043 miles was resolved immediately on the same day, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure. This suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial fix. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks over several years is positive but uncommon for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, tyre flat-spotting, or brake caliper seizing due to inactivity. Inspect the tyre date codes to ensure the rubber has not hardened over time and check for any signs of moisture ingress or battery degradation resulting from long periods of standing.
