2017 Mirage Countach 4.6L Petrol · DFE 1

This MIRAGE COUNTACH presents an exceptionally strong record of roadworthiness, having passed all eight of its recorded MOT tests without a single defect or advisory ever being noted. The latest inspection on 2026-06-25 confirmed this consistent standard, indicating a vehicle that has met all statutory safety and environmental requirements without any identified areas of concern. This unbroken sequence of clean passes suggests a mechanically sound history from the perspective of official inspections. The vehicle's recorded mileage of just 7,136 miles over approximately nine years is remarkably low, averaging less than 800 miles per year. While this indicates minimal operational wear on major drivetrain components, such infrequent use can introduce its own set of considerations. Components such as tyres, suspension bushes, and various rubber seals can degrade or perish due to age and lack of regular movement rather than high mileage. Similarly, brake components, including discs and calipers, may be susceptible to corrosion or binding if the vehicle has stood for extended periods, even if not driven extensively. Given the absence of specific advisories, a pre-purchase inspection should focus particularly on areas that can suffer from age and low usage. Check the condition of all four tyres for signs of perishing, cracking, or flat spots, paying attention to their age regardless of tread depth. Examine the brake discs for excessive surface rust or pitting, and listen for any grinding or squealing during braking, which could indicate binding calipers or uneven pad wear from inactivity. During a test drive, pay close attention to the vehicle's braking performance, ensuring it is smooth and free from judder or pulling to one side. Listen for any unusual noises, such as knocks or creaks from the suspension over uneven surfaces, which might point to aged or stiffened bushes. Verify that all electrical systems, including lights, wipers, and air conditioning, are fully functional, as these can sometimes be overlooked in low-usage vehicles.
