1995 Mitsubishi FTO GPX FTO 2.0L Petrol · M107 AJN

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy, having failed its most recent MOT test on 25 July 2025. The maintenance trend is erratic and concerning, characterized by a pattern of failures followed by passes without any recorded defects. This suggests the vehicle may be failing on items not detailed in the summary or is being presented for testing without prior preparation. The mileage remains exceptionally low for a 31 year old car, averaging under 4,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 and July 2025, the odometer moved only 216 miles, from 122,159 to 122,375. Such minimal usage over four years strongly indicates the car has spent significant periods standing. Long-term inactivity often leads to perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and degraded fluids. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection for structural corrosion, particularly on the sills and chassis rails, as these are common failure points for this era of Mitsubishi. The lack of recorded defects despite multiple failures is an anomaly that requires investigation. Check for signs of brake disc corrosion and ensure the suspension bushes have not cracked due to age and lack of movement. Verify the current operational status of the engine and electrical systems. Given the vehicle has sat largely idle since 2021, the fuel system and battery health are primary concerns. Ensure all consumables, including tyres and wiper blades, are within legal limits and have not suffered from flat-spotting or dry rot during the periods of inactivity.
