2018 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · DW18 FDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 5 August 2025 with 81,868 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed mechanical failures immediately following testing. While the record shows two instances of failure, the lack of any recorded advisories in the latest 2025 test indicates that the previous issues were rectified and the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards for safety and environmental emissions. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use, averaging approximately 10,234 miles per year over last eight years. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the car covered 9,426 miles, which represents a steady usage profile. The previous interval between August 2023 and August 2024 saw 8,273 miles. This regularity suggests the vehicle is subjected to standard driving conditions rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for preventing the degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the rear suspension, specifically the offside rear coil spring which fractured during the July 2025 test at 81,774 miles. Although the car passed since, a snapped spring can sometimes indicate age-related metal fatigue or corrosion on the opposite side component. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) failure in August 2024 at 72,358 miles should be verified on the dashboard to ensure the sensor or module remains fully functional, as these systems can suffer intermittent electronic faults over time.
