MITSUBISHI FTO1995 · 1.8L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is highly uncertain due to a complete lack of MOT data for the past thirteen years. The last recorded test occurred in December 2013 at 189,946 miles, where the vehicle passed after addressing several failures. Because no tests have been performed since that date, there is no documented evidence to verify the current structural integrity or mechanical safety of the car. The maintenance trend has effectively stalled, suggesting the vehicle has either sat in storage or been operated without official safety inspections for over a decade. The vehicle has covered 189,946 miles over 31 years, averaging approximately 6,127 miles per year. While this figure is consistent with typical usage for its age, the data stops abruptly between October 2012 and December 2013, where only 14,482 miles were recorded in a short window. The subsequent thirteen-year gap in the MOT history is a significant red flag, as the natural degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid systems occurs over time regardless of the actual mileage driven. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the structural condition of the chassis and suspension points. The history shows a persistent and worsening trend of corrosion in the rear suspension mounting areas and the front subframe, which progressed from minor corrosion in 2012 to excessive corrosion causing a failure in late 2013. A buyer must check for deep-seated rust or perforation in these specific areas, as well as the condition of the rear brake pipes. The anti-roll bar linkages and bushes also require scrutiny for play, as these were repeatedly identified as points of failure in the final recorded tests.
