2002 Mitsubishi Carisma 1.6L Petrol · DA52 NWP

The Mitsubishi Carisma presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 28 June 2024 at 111,814 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend across the supplied records is stable with no mechanical advisories or recurring faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle cleared its 2021, 2022, and 2024 examinations without corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns noted. Recorded mileage sits at 111,814 against a 2002 build, averaging roughly 4,659 miles per year and marking this as a low-use example for its age. The gap between the 10 September 2021 pass at 96,873 miles and the 22 October 2022 pass at 103,842 miles shows only 6,969 miles added in thirteen months. A further 7,972 miles appeared by June 2024, confirming light and consistent running rather than standing idle or high-speed accumulation. The two failed entries on 10 October 2022 and 26 June 2024 carry zero recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's twenty-four years. Low annual mileage often masks moisture ingress and perished rubber components such as suspension bushes and droplinks that static records will not reveal. Examine brake discs and calipers for binding after prolonged low use, and verify the exhaust system for internal degradation not captured by the emissions check. The absence of advisories across five years of testing suggests the previous keepers addressed consumables before each examination. Confirm the 2024 failure without defects did not precede unrecorded rectification, and validate current tyre tread and wiper condition against the next due test in mid-2026.
