2001 Mitsubishi Colt 1.6L Petrol · Y267 HCA

The vehicle has passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-03-31 at 21,745 miles, indicating that it is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance trend is not entirely stable, as recurring issues have been identified, particularly with the front Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush, which has been worn since 2025. The recent test also flagged a minor exhaust leak, which may not be a significant concern but warrants attention. The recorded mileage of 21,745 miles, accumulated over approximately 25 years, is remarkably low, suggesting that the vehicle has been used lightly or has spent extended periods standing. The average annual mileage of around 870 miles is significantly lower than expected for a vehicle of this age, which can be attributed to either careful ownership or long periods of non-use. There are no notable gaps in the MOT history, and the records are generally consistent, although the 2025 test did reveal some issues. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's front suspension and steering components, specifically the Anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush, as it has been worn in the past and may require replacement. The binding rear brakes noted in the 2025 test also warrant attention, as they may indicate worn brake pads or other issues with the braking system. Furthermore, the minor exhaust leak identified in the 2026 test should be investigated to determine its cause and potential impact on the vehicle's performance. Additionally, the corrosion to the front undersides and inner sills noted in the 2018 test may indicate a more widespread issue with rust or structural integrity, which should be assessed during a visual inspection.
