2006 Mitsubishi MIT Petrol · AF06 CTY

The Mitsubishi passed its most recent MOT on 28 November 2023 at 106,322 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable. The same-day failure on 28 November 2023 at identical mileage but with no defects listed points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, with the clean pass issued the same day confirming the car was roadworthy. The odometer shows 104,115 miles at the 21 April 2022 test and 106,322 miles at the November 2023 test, a gain of just 2,207 miles across roughly nineteen months. Against a 2006 build date this equates to about 5,300 miles per year overall, which is low for a twenty-year-old vehicle. The sparse record, with only two test entries present and a near eighteen-month gap before the 2023 examination, gives little visibility of intervening wear but suggests light use or periods of storage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as long stationary periods on a low-mileage older car accelerate rust more than wear. The brake discs and calipers deserve checks for binding or pitting after the car sat unused between tests. Given the clean advisories and zero recorded defects, no recurring mechanical fault pattern emerges from the DVLA data. The absence of flagged exhaust emissions or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, though the thin history means previous owner upkeep cannot be fully verified beyond the two passes.
