2013 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · CV63 CFJ

The Mitsubishi Mirage presents as roadworthy based on the most recent DVSA test, with the November 2025 examination at 98,297 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical faults. Two earlier failures in November 2023 and November 2024 at identical mileages to their subsequent passes suggest administrative re-tests rather than repaired defects, as the records list no defects on either occasion. Mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 2013 vehicle. The car covered 79,711 miles by the November 2023 test, rose to 89,251 miles by November 2024, and reached 98,297 miles by November 2025. That equates to roughly 9,500 miles per year across the recorded span, marginally above the lifetime average of 7,561, with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes evident. The MOT data itself is sparse and clean, offering no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion to scrutinise. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of wear-prone components the test does not capture in detail. Although no advisories flag coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions, a 13-year-old chassis demands checks for structural rust at sill and subframe mounting points. Verify brake disc thickness and tyre tread depth independently, since the clean records provide no evidence of recent consumable renewal. The duplicate fail-and-pass entries on the same dates imply the vehicle was presented, briefly rejected, then cleared without listed faults, likely due to documentation or minor presentation issues. This pattern reflects compliant ownership rather than neglected upkeep, but the absence of historical advisories means in-person verification of mechanical condition remains the buyer's responsibility.
