2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Exceed 4X4 CVT 1.5L Petrol · WU20 ABK

The vehicle holds a clean MOT record across all four recorded tests. In the most recent test on 2 February 2026 at 75,707 miles, the Eclipse Cross passed with no defects and no advisories, matching the outcome of the three previous annual tests. That gives a stable, unblemished maintenance trend spanning three years, with no evidence of worsening structural or mechanical conditions. The mileage pattern tells a mixed story. The car has averaged roughly 12,600 miles per year, which sits above the typical UK fleet average. Between the March 2023 test at 39,114 miles and the February 2024 test at 58,063 miles, the car covered nearly 19,000 miles in under twelve months. That is heavy use. The pace then slackened to about 9,600 miles in the next year and roughly 8,100 miles in the year leading up to February 2026. The recent easing suggests the heaviest workload now sits in the past, though that early high-mileage stint still adds legitimate wear to consumables and drivetrain components. Because no advisory items were ever recorded, there are no recurring faults to chase. A clean MOT does not guarantee a trouble-free buy, however. At 75,707 miles, you should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for wear, and check the brake discs and pads for scoring or thinning. Binding calipers are a known failure point on this platform, so look for uneven pad wear or excess heat after a short drive. The CVT gearbox needs evidence of regular fluid changes, and the rear axle and subframe mounts deserve a close look for corrosion, as underseal can hide early rust. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent garage would confirm the true condition of these components before you commit.
