2006 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · DA06 OVL

The Mitsubishi Colt presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 68,528 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available annual tests from June 2021 to May 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent upkeep and no worsening mechanical condition. The recorded mileage shows light use for a 2006 vehicle. It rose from 57,097 miles at the 2 June 2021 test to 68,528 miles by May 2025, a total gain of 11,431 miles over four years, averaging under 2,900 miles per year. The gaps between tests are short and regular, with no prolonged lapses or sudden accumulation, and the clean record offers no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished history. Low annual mileage combined with a 20-year age means rubber suspension bushes, door seals, and brake hose flexibility may have degraded through time rather than wear. Standing periods can encourage underbody corrosion even when the tester noted no structural issues. Check the exhaust system for internal rot and inspect brake discs for lip formation or rust binding from disuse. Verify the coil springs and subframe for early-age corrosion. The MOT data implies a carefully stored, lightly driven car, but paper passes do not measure rubber perishing or hidden structural integrity.
