2009 Mitsubishi Colt 1.1L Petrol · CY59 CVF

The most recent MOT entry for this 2009 Mitsubishi Colt dates to 14 March 2022 at 143,282 miles. On that day the vehicle first passed with no defects recorded, then failed on the same mileage with no defects listed. The record shows no progressive trend of faults, but the duplicate same-day result suggests an administrative or data anomaly rather than a clear mechanical failure. Given the four-year gap to today's date of 8 July 2026, the current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from this history alone. The odometer stood at 143,282 miles in March 2022, equating to roughly 8,428 miles per year since 2009, which is typical for a car of this age. The supplied history contains only that single dated entry, so no rapid accumulation or standing periods can be evidenced between tests. A clean defect sheet on the pass is encouraging, yet the absence of any earlier or later records limits judgement on long-term upkeep. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. The 2022 failure with no defects recorded warrants scrutiny of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm whether a clerical error or a withdrawn test occurred. With no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions, the mechanical baseline appears sound on paper, but 17 years of age and four years without tested evidence demand checks on structural integrity and consumable wear. Prior to committing funds, inspect the exhaust system, tyre tread depth, and underbody for rust. The same-day pass and fail pattern implies the previous owner may have faced procedural issues at the test centre rather than neglected maintenance. Verify the true mileage and request service invoices to corroborate the recorded 143,282 miles.
