2007 Mitsubishi Colt 1.1L Petrol · CV57 YVS

The Mitsubishi Colt passed its most recent MOT on 10 October 2024 at 147,419 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The vehicle carries a clean test outcome in its latest examination, though two earlier failures in consecutive years show the owner needed a retest within weeks to secure a pass. Recorded mileage sits at 147,419 against a 2007 build, averaging roughly 7,759 miles per year which is typical for the age. The gap between the 24 September 2022 pass at 132,229 miles and the 6 October 2023 failure at 139,382 miles shows about 7,153 miles covered in that year. From October 2023 to October 2024 the car added 8,037 miles, a consistent annual rate with no sudden accumulation or long-standing periods implied by the data. The DVSA record lists no advisories or defects across any test, including the two failures on 27 September 2024 and 6 October 2023 which were logged with zero faults recorded. This suggests the failures likely involved administrative or non-mechanical presentation issues rather than worn tyres, corroded structures, or failing brakes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car is nineteen years old and past 147,000 miles. Previous owners kept the consumables and structural items within test limits, but the twin failures followed by immediate passes hint at loose test discipline rather than neglected upkeep. Verify the service history and confirm the 2024 failure cause before purchase, as the MOT alone offers no insight into the fault that triggered the retest.
