2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · CF67 BKK

The 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 5 February 2026 at 78,483 miles with zero defects recorded. That unblemished result is significant. It follows a period where the vehicle had previously drawn advisories, yet the most recent test confirms those issues were rectified rather than ignored. The trajectory from flagged brake and tyre wear in 2022 to a fully clear certificate in 2026 suggests attentive ownership in recent years. The mileage accumulation tells a consistent story. Between 2022 and 2026, the car added 48,344 miles over four years, averaging roughly 12,000 miles annually. That is a modest uptick from the earlier pattern of around 9,800 miles per year, but it remains well within normal use for a vehicle of this age. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps between consecutive MOT readings. Each annual test appears roughly twelve months apart, indicating regular use rather than prolonged standing, which reduces concerns about deterioration from inactivity such as seized brakes or perished seals. The 2022 test at 30,139 miles flagged front brake discs worn and pitted, front brake pads wearing thin, and rear tyres cracking and perishing. The 2025 test at 64,449 miles drew an advisory for front tyre wear close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. Both sets of defects were resolved before subsequent tests, but the pattern warrants a focused in-person inspection. A buyer should examine the current front tyres for uneven wear, which can indicate tracking or suspension geometry issues, and check the front brake discs and pads for remaining life. The rear tyres should be inspected for age-related cracking, particularly if the current set dates back several years. Beyond the flagged items, the clean 2026 result is reassuring, though it does not substitute for a physical underbody inspection. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, along with the exhaust system for corrosion and the structural underside for any signs of rust or previous damage repair. The record shows no recurring structural or mechanical failures, but hands-on verification remains essential before purchase.
