2007 Mitsubishi I 0.7L Petrol · BU07 UVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 40,995 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories regarding all four tyres being near the legal limit and a punctured front tyre. This follows a failure in October 2024 where both front brake discs were significantly worn, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach a failure threshold. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 40,995 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,158 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. The data shows shows long intervals between tests, such as the 2,170 miles driven between July 2023 and October 2024, which suggests the car sits stationary for extended periods. This likely correlates with the pitting on brake discs and deteriorating CV boots noted in the 2023 record. A buyer must inspect the structural integrity of the rear suspension mounting points, as the 2025 test flagged corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear areas. Although currently deemed not excessive, this rust is likely to progress on a vehicle of this age. The exhaust system also requires close attention; the rear box has been noted as deteriorating in both 2022 and 2023. Given the history of worn tyres and failed brake components, a thorough check of the current consumables and suspension alignment is essential to ensure no further damage has occurred during the low-mileage intervals.
