MITSUBISHI COLT2013 · 1.3L PETROL

The 2026 MOT, conducted just three months ago, shows the vehicle passed with no defects recorded at 56,004 miles. This is the first MOT in over a year to show no issues, suggesting recent maintenance or repairs may have addressed prior concerns. However, the vehicle’s history reveals a pattern of brake-related defects dating back to 2022. In 2022, the front brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored, while 2023’s MOT highlighted thin front brake pads. These issues were not repeated in the 2024 or 2025 MOTs, which recorded no defects. This suggests the problems may have been resolved, but there is no explicit confirmation of repairs in the data. The lack of recurring issues in recent years implies the vehicle’s condition has stabilized, though the earlier brake defects remain a point of caution. The vehicle’s mileage of 56,004 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 4,308 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to wear on components like brakes, suspension, and fluids. Low mileage does not always correlate with better condition, as infrequent use can lead to issues such as corrosion, seized parts, or degraded rubber components.
