2012 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · HV62 CXJ

The Mitsubishi Colt presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 21 August 2025 at 41,137 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since January 2023. The upkeep pattern shows no worsening faults and no outstanding advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 41,137 miles for a 14-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 2,938 miles per year. The car gained only 2,522 miles between the August 2023 test at 36,808 miles and the August 2025 test at 41,137 miles. Such low annual use implies light running, though the gap between the January 2023 pass at 33,675 miles and the August 2023 tests at 36,808 miles shows around 3,133 miles covered in seven months, a brief period of heavier use. The MOT data itself is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged on any pass. A failed test on 22 August 2023 at 36,808 miles is notable, yet the record lists no defects and the car passed cleanly three days later on 25 August 2023 at the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of flagged items means no recurring suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion issues appear in the official record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods of standing. Verify the condition of consumables such as tyres and wiper blades that a clean MOT does not exempt from wear. The low mileage and clean history imply careful previous ownership, but dormant storage can conceal perished rubber components and seized calipers not captured by the tester.
