2010 Mitsubishi Colt 1.1L Petrol · DG10 NTD

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of neglected consumable components and reactive repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 87,984 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged the offside front tyre reaching the legal limit and perishing on both front tyres. This mirrors a multi-year pattern where rubber components are only addressed once they approach failure thresholds, rather than as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. At 16 years old with 87,984 miles, the Colt has covered a low average of approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows very consistent annual usage, such as only 1,191 miles driven between March 2025 and March 2026. However, this low mileage correlates with the material degradation seen in the records. The repeated cracking and perishing of tyres noted from 2023 through 2026 suggests the vehicle likely sits for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out despite the low tread wear. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front braking system and engine management components. The record shows a recurring issue with pitting and scoring on the front brake discs dating back to 2023, which indicates the vehicle is frequently left stationary long enough to allow surface corrosion to develop. The failure in March 2024 due to a high lambda reading suggests a potential oxygen sensor fault or catalytic converter inefficiency that should be monitored for fuel economy. Given the age and low usage, a thorough check for structural rust on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these are common failure points for low-mileage vehicles of this era.
