2014 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · YD14 AEJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-09 at 46,938 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the same date also recorded a fail with no defects, indicating inconsistent or duplicate entries. Earlier tests from 2024-04-10 (45,169 miles) and 2023-03-23 (42,741 miles) were both pass results with no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability, as no critical issues were flagged across multiple tests. However, the lack of recorded defects may suggest either meticulous upkeep or incomplete data, as the 2023-03-22 fail at 42,728 miles also listed no defects. The vehicle’s mileage of 46,938 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 3,912 miles annually, which is unusually low. This suggests minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like the battery, fluids, and suspension. The 2024-04-10 test at 45,169 miles showed a 1,769-mile gap since the 2023-03-23 test, raising questions about the vehicle’s operational frequency. A buyer should verify if the low mileage aligns with the car’s actual usage and inspect for signs of stagnation, such as hardened rubber parts or corrosion. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were recorded in the MOT history, but the absence of defects does not guarantee mechanical integrity. A buyer should physically check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as low-mileage vehicles may develop hidden faults from inactivity. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and the body for rust, as older cars with infrequent use are prone to these issues. The MOT records provide limited insight into long-term maintenance, so a professional inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
