Our Verdict
A highly recommended purchase for those seeking a reliable, low-mileage city car. This particular silver Colt shows exceptional stability in its recent history and very low usage.
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the oil and filters have been changed regularly, even if the annual mileage has been low. Since the car has covered very little distance in recent years, check for signs of 'sitting' such as perished tyres or a battery that may need replacing.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle rather than its condition, as the MOT data suggests it has been meticulously maintained. Ensure you verify that the 1.5L petrol engine starts cleanly from cold and that there are no signs of leaks under the chassis.
The 1499cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for urban commuting. Tax and insurance for this model are typically low, placing it in a budget-friendly bracket for new drivers or city dwellers.
Maintenance costs are expected to be minimal given the vehicle's history of no MOT defects. You should budget for standard annual servicing and the occasional replacement of wear-and-tear items like brake pads and wipers.
While the MOT history shows no recorded defects from 2022 to 2024, you should still perform a physical check of the silver paintwork for any age-related fading or scratches. Inspect the tyres for flat spots or cracking, which can occur when a vehicle does very low annual mileage (as seen between 2022 and 2024).
Check the interior upholstery and controls for wear, although the low mileage of 60,751 suggests the cabin should be in good condition. Ensure all electrical components and the heater are functioning correctly, as these can seize if not used frequently.
This 2006 Mitsubishi Colt is in a rare state of preservation, recording only 60,751 miles over two decades. The MOT history from 2022 to 2024 is remarkably clean, with no defects recorded across three consecutive passes. Given the low mileage and consistent pass rate, it represents a strong value proposition for a budget-conscious buyer.
While aggregate data is unavailable, this specific vehicle's history of zero defects over several years suggests high individual reliability.
