2007 Mitsubishi Mitsubisi 0.7L Petrol · NX57 ACZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward structural degradation. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 56,114 miles passed, the tester identified corroded rear inner vehicle structure or chassis within 30cm of a mounting. Although this did not result in a failure, it represents a significant progression from the minor surface rust noted as far back as 2015 and 2016. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,953 miles per year. This suggests long periods of remaining remaining stationary. There is a notable gap in the records between November 2017 and January 2020, during which the car covered only about 4,400 miles. This low usage often leads to age-related perish rather than mechanical wear, as evidenced by the recurring issues with rubber components like wiper blades and CV gaiters despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis integrity to determine if the corrosion flagged in 2026 is superficial or structural. The history shows a pattern of brake-related issues, including pitted discs in 2017 and a corroded brake pipe in that same year. Additionally, the buyer should check the suspension components, as the anti-roll bar linkage was previously flagged for play in 2023. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, all hoses, seals, and rubber bushes should be examined for cracking or degradation caused by time.
