2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Dynamic 4X2 1.5L Petrol · DL03 DPL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2026 at 45,203 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. While the car consistently passes its tests, the record reveals a persistent pattern of neglecting consumable components until they reach critical limits. The recurring nature of tyre-related faults suggests that the previous owner only addressed issues once they became a failure point during the annual inspection. At 45,203 miles over six years, the vehicle averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a modern SUV. The data shows a significant jump in mileage between January 2023 and February 2024, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in just thirteen months. Since then, the mileage accumulation has remained steady at roughly 6,000 miles per annum. This consistent usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of seals and rubber components. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and wheel alignment, as the history flags multiple instances of uneven wear and low tread depth. The 2024 failure specifically noted a nearside front tyre worn to the edge, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that may not have been fully rectified. Furthermore, the February 2025 test advisory regarding thin front and rear brake pads requires the buyer to verify the current thickness and check the brake discs for scoring or thinning to ensure the pads were actually replaced after the warning. The repeated cracking on the offside rear tyre noted in both 2025 and 2026 indicates the rubber is ageing poorly and requires replacement regardless of remaining depth.
