2004 Mitsubishi Space Star 1.9L Diesel · HT04 VKC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 July 2025 at 95,569 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean record suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to standard, addressing mechanical issues before they escalated into failures typical of vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,344 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the car covered 41,125 miles, showing a steady annual increase of roughly 10,000 miles in the more recent period before tapering off. This low-frequency use generally indicates less wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking system. However, such low-mile operation can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown which are not always captured by mileage alone. Despite the lack of recorded MOT advisories, a physical inspection must focus on age-related factors that the MOT test does not cover. A buyer should check for structural corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and underbody members, as older Mitsubishi vehicles are prone to rust regardless of low mileage. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished, as infrequent use can cause rubber to become brittle. Additionally, verify that the brake calipers are not seized or corroded, which is frequently common in cars that sit for extended periods between uses.
