2004 Mitsubishi Space Star 1.6L Petrol · GY04 AAN

The 2004 Mitsubishi Space Star presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 18 October 2024 at 49,883 miles returning a clean pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same pattern of clean passes, indicating no escalating mechanical or structural concerns across the available history. The vehicle currently holds a valid test status and shows no advisory or failure items that would suggest worsening condition. Recorded mileage sits at 49,883 against a 22-year lifespan, equating to roughly 2,267 miles per year. The tester logged 38,072 miles on 15 March 2022 and 29,615 miles on 12 March 2020, confirming light annual use. A notable gap exists between the March 2022 and October 2024 tests, where the car covered around 11,800 miles in thirty-one months, still below average. The only blemish is a fail on 10 March 2022 at 38,022 miles with no defects listed, reversed five days later by a pass at 38,072 miles, which points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Low mileage and a clean MOT trail imply the previous keeper stored the car for long periods and skipped heavy use, though standing time raises risks not visible in the record. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts for perishing from inactivity, and check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after the long 2022 to 2024 layoff. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity carried no advisories, yet a physical check beneath the sills and wheel arches remains sensible on a twenty-two-year-old shell. Verify the tyres and wiper blades for age cracking despite adequate tread, as rubber degrades on low-mileage vehicles regardless of wear.
