2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · FN68 KGV

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes across five inspections. The most recent test on 10 May 2025 at 37,186 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has consistently operated within legal parameters without the emergence of mechanical degradation or structural corrosion often seen in cars of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,650 miles per year. Data shows a significant increase in usage between the May 2023 test at 15,616 miles and the May 2025 test at 37,186 miles, representing over 21,000 miles driven in two years. However, the total mileage remains well below the national average. This low-use pattern suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it also raises the possibility of dry seals or fluid degradation if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults or flagged mechanical issues, a physical inspection should focus on risks associated with low-mileage usage. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which age regardless of the distance driven. The brake discs should be examined for surface pitting or rust, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors effectively. Overall, the data suggests a well-cared-for vehicle that has avoided the mechanical stresses typical of higher-mileage commuter cars.
