2013 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · CE13 HMK

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on October 9, 2025 at 157,103 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a pattern of failures immediately preceding passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed its test just one or two days before a successful retest. This suggests the owner addresses specific defects only when prompted by the annual testing requirement rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the 157,103 miles represent approximately 12,000 miles per annum, which sits above the national average for a petrol vehicle. The data shows consistent usage over the years, with 14,800 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 10,772 miles in the final year leading up to the most recent test. This high-frequency use places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to a lower-mileage example. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the mechanical areas most susceptible to high-mileage wear. While the recent records show no active defects, the recurring failures indicate the vehicle may operate on the edge of component life for bushes, shock absorbers, andার. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion on the chassis sills is essential. Inspect the condition of the brake discs and thickness of pads to ensure the high mileage has not resulted in uneven wear or binding calipers.
