2013 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · HN13 ABX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test in January 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests. In the most January 2026 test at 75,899 miles, the car failed initially but passed shortly without recorded defects. This suggests that the owner addresses specific mechanical faults only when prompted by the tester rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. At 75,899 miles, this 2013 Mitsubishi Mirage has covered relatively low mileage, averaging approximately 5,838 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over time, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,649 miles covered before the January 2026 inspection. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and corrosion on braking surfaces if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the specific areas that caused the failures in 2025 and 2026, as the record does not detail the technical reasons for those initial rejections. Focus attention on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, which are common points of failure on this model. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural integrity and surface rust is essential to ensure that low mileage has not masked hidden corrosion that might not be immediately obvious during a standard MOT inspection.
