2012 Mitsubishi Colt 1.1L Petrol · CK61 XOC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 86,459 miles. This test was a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. The failure on 30 June 2025 was minor and specific to a non-functioning nearside rear seat belt buckle, which was rectified within eleven days. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,176 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, increasing from 76,708 miles in June 2023 to 86,459 miles by July 2025. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest periods of neglect or excessive commercial use. Earlier records indicate a period of lapsed basic maintenance. On 1 June 2023, the car failed on multiple simple items including ineffective windscreen wipers and a blown position lamp. More significantly, the tester flagged insecure mounting brackets for both the nearside and offside front anti-roll bars. These suspension components were resolved by the following day, but their simultaneous failure suggests a period where chassis-level wear was overlooked. A buyer should verify the current condition of the front suspension and anti-roll bar bushings to ensure the 2023 repairs remain secure. While the most recent tests are clean, the history of suspension mounting issues means a physical check for chassis corrosion or rubber perishing is advisable. No recurring brake or structural integrity issues appear in the data, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a reasonable state of repair.
