1995 MITSUBISHI FTO2.0L PETROL

The Mitsubishi FTO presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 20 September 2025 at 81,045 miles with no defects recorded. Prior tests in July 2024 at 80,343 miles and June 2022 at 79,796 miles also returned clean passes. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across its recent testing history. At roughly 31 years old, the car carries a low recorded mileage of 81,045, averaging about 2,614 miles per year. The records show sparse but consistent use: 77,689 miles in June 2021, rising to 79,796 by June 2022, then a slow crawl to 81,045 by September 2025. A notable gap exists between the June 2022 and July 2024 tests, with no recorded MOT in 2023, suggesting the car saw little road time or was exempt through non-use. Low mileage paired with age implies long standing periods, which commonly accelerate rubber perishing and corrosion on unused components. The 2021 history flags two faults worth physical verification. On 16 June 2021 the tester failed the car for service brake efficiency below requirements and offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint with slight play; the owner corrected both within a day for the 17 June pass, leaving only the slight ball joint play as an advisory. A buyer should inspect the offside front suspension linkage and ball joint for worn bushes or renewed play, and confirm brake disc condition, caliper operation, and hydraulic efficiency given the prior efficiency failure. Given the age, the buyer should also examine structural integrity for chassis corrosion, particularly sills and suspension mounting points, and check flexible brake hoses and fuel lines for degradation from prolonged inactivity. The clean recent record implies basic upkeep was maintained after 2021, but a 1995 vehicle demands hands-on inspection beyond the MOT data.
