2014 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · AE63 HHY

The 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 23 October 2025 at 162,228 miles with zero defects recorded. This recent outcome indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. The absence of advisories or failures over the last three consecutive annual tests suggests the previous owner addressed any underlying mechanical issues promptly. A clean MOT record spanning multiple years demonstrates consistent baseline upkeep rather than neglect. Accumulating 162,228 miles over twelve years equates to roughly 13,519 miles annually, a figure notably higher than the national average. The MOT history reveals steady, high-intensity usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the odometer advanced 8,367 miles, followed by 10,660 miles over the subsequent twelve months, and 5,614 miles in the most recent year. This pattern confirms sustained daily driving, which accelerates wear on consumables, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components. An anomalous failed test on 26 October 2022 at 137,586 miles shows no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative error or a failure to attend the inspection, though the car passed cleanly the very next day. Despite the pristine MOT record, the high mileage demands a rigorous physical inspection of structural and mechanical components. A buyer must thoroughly examine the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly around the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as road salt exposure over 162,000 miles can compromise structural integrity. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close scrutiny for deterioration, while brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear and binding. The exhaust system needs checking for leaks or corrosion, and tyre condition must be verified, as high-mileage vehicles often suffer from uneven wear or aged rubber. A pre-purchase inspection will confirm whether the mechanical condition matches the flawless paperwork.
