2006 Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4L Lpg · DA06 CXM

The Mitsubishi Grandis presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a stable maintenance trend. The January 2023 test at 95,430 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior 2022 pass at 80,874 miles also carried no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 12 January 2022 at 80,482 miles, where the DVSA system shows no defects logged, indicating an administrative or unrecorded-cause failure rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 20 years old the Grandis shows 95,430 miles, an average of about 4,772 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests light use or extended periods off the road. The record jumps from 80,482 miles on 12 January 2022 to 80,874 miles nine days later, then to 95,430 miles by January 2023, a 14,556-mile gain in that year against very low prior running. Such a pattern can mask standing corrosion or perished rubber on suspension bushes and brake hoses after idle spells. Given the clean advisory history, a buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as a 2006 MPV will be prone to rust on sills and subframes not visible in a pass-only record. The brake discs, calipers, and coil springs should be checked for binding or fatigue from low-use cycling. The unexplained January 2022 failure warrants a DVSA certificate check to confirm no suppressed defect. Tyres and wiper blades show no flagged wear, but low-mileage tyres can harden with age. Verify production dates on the sidewalls and test suspension articulation for worn bushes before purchase.
