2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · GC05 JMC

The Mitsubishi Eclipse presents as roadworthy with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 71,203 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of annual passes since the 2021 examination. Annual mileage has averaged close to 8,900 miles against the vehicle's eight-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show steady annual accumulation: 21,743 miles in November 2021, 32,936 by December 2022, 44,980 in December 2023, 57,895 in December 2024, and 71,203 at the final test. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the sequence, and every entry carries a zero-defect result with no advisories raised on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion. Given the absence of any flagged faults across five consecutive tests, the history implies the previous keepers maintained the car to a standard that avoided even minor consumable wear escaping the tester's notice. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection before purchase. Particular attention should go to brake disc thickness and caliper operation, front and rear suspension arm bushes, coil springs, and underbody structural integrity for hidden corrosion. The clean MOT trail reduces but does not remove risk on a vehicle now past 70,000 miles. Verify service records match the odometer, confirm cambelt or chain intervals for the engine, and check tyre manufacture dates even though tread passed. The data shows no worsening pattern, yet only a hands-on check confirms component condition beyond the annual roadside test.
