MITSUBISHI COLT2013 · 1.1L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-12 recorded a slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint (5.3.4 (a) (i)), a minor but notable defect. This is the first recorded suspension issue in the vehicle’s MOT history, though previous entries show recurring tyre and brake-related defects. The vehicle has no other current defects, but this suspension concern warrants attention. The MOT history reveals a pattern of gradual wear on tyres and braking components , with issues like worn brake discs, tyres near legal limits, and brake light switch inconsistencies. These are typical for a 13-year-old vehicle but suggest ongoing maintenance needs. The 2023 and 2022 MOTs highlight tyre degradation and brake pad wear, while the 2026 suspension defect indicates a new potential fault. However, the 2025 and 2024 MOTs showed no defects, suggesting periods of stability. The condition trend appears stable overall , with no major defects in recent years. The 2026 suspension issue is isolated but should be inspected for progression. The vehicle’s mileage (82,269 miles) aligns with its age, averaging ~6,328 miles annually—within the typical range for this era.
