2004 Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4L Petrol · DC54 CKO

The Mitsubishi Grandis presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 97,888 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT results across the previous four years. Recorded mileage sits at 97,888 against a 2004 build date, equating to roughly 4,449 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle, consistent accumulation: 86,262 miles in January 2022, 89,622 in February 2023, 94,113 in January 2024, 97,242 in January 2025, and 97,888 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Such low annual use over 22 years suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishable degradation even where the test sheet stays clear. The history flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion at any point. A clean sheet across five tests implies the previous keeper addressed wear before each examination. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake line condition, since long idle spells promote hidden rust and seized handbrake mechanisms the annual test may not expose on a brief ramp check. Given the age, verify the cambelt interval history and check for perished rubber components such as wiper blades and tyre sidewalls. The low mileage masks calendar ageing rather than mechanical fatigue, so a pre-purchase examination should focus on time-related deterioration over high-mileage consumable wear.
