2008 Mitsubishi I 0.7L Petrol · CX08 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 28 October 2025 at 42,191 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean sheet across the last five years of testing indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerance limits without any history of major failures or worsening degradation in critical systems. The" pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,344 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2024, the car covered only 1,299 miles, moving from 40,892 to 42,174 miles. This minimal usage suggests the vehicle has been stored or used very sparingly for long periods. While this reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks related to age-related decay of rubber materials and fluid chemistry. Because the easy history shows no flagged faults, a buyer must focus on potential issues associated with low-mileage stagnation. A physical inspection should prioritize checking for perished components, specifically suspension bushes and coolant hoses, which can crack irrespective of mileage. The braking system should be examined for corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequently used brakes are prone to surface rust on discs and drums. Structural integrity must be verified for hidden corrosion, particularly in the sills and artwork arches where moisture collects during long periods of inactivity. Given the low annual mileage, the tyres should also be checked for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, even if the tread depth remains sufficient. The data indicates a vehicle that has been well-preserved but requires a thorough check for age-related material failure that the MOT test does not always capture.
