2007 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · FM07 DVP

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as evidenced by the failure to pass the MOT in November 2025 at 99,559 miles. This failure represents a significant deterioration compared to the September 2023 test at 95,841 miles, indicating that maintenance trends have shifted from stable to worsening over the past two years. The most recent failure on November 6, 2025, at 99,559 miles, was caused by binding rear brakes, which is a critical mechanical risk that requires immediate inspection. The mileage pattern shows a notable gap between the September 2023 test and the November 2025 failure, with the vehicle accumulating approximately 5,000 miles in less than a year. This rapid accumulation suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate basic upkeep since the last MOT, likely due to a lack of regular servicing or driving conditions that accelerated wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to evaluate the binding rear brakes and the condition of the suspension bushings and coil springs, which were flagged as corroded in the September 2025 test. Given the history of failed tests in November 2025 and November 2024, the vehicle is likely subject to a high risk of future failure, particularly regarding the brake disc, suspension components, and structural integrity of the chassis.
