Our Verdict
This is a solid buy for a 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a clean recent MOT record and sensible mileage. The only minor caution is some noted underside corrosion in 2025, which is worth monitoring but did not cause a failure.
When viewing this grey 1.5-litre petrol Eclipse, ask for full service history to confirm the timing chain and turbo on the small petrol engine have been maintained at correct intervals. The 2022 MOT noted an offside rear brake disc that was worn or scored, so check that it was replaced rather than left, and test the brakes for pulling or noise on a road trial. Use the 2025 advisory for underside corrosion to negotiate if the seller has not treated or protected the chassis, as surface rust can worsen in British winters.
The 1,499cc petrol Euro 6b engine in this Eclipse should return reasonable economy for a compact crossover, though exact figures are not in the provided data. Road tax will be based on the post-April 2017 flat rate for petrol cars, and insurance group is not specified but is likely moderate for the size. Typical annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance are estimated at £900-£1,100.
Pay close attention to the underside corrosion flagged at the 2025 MOT (34,510 miles); inspect sills, subframes and suspension mounts for rust and consider a professional underseal assessment. The 2022 MOT recorded an offside rear brake disc worn, pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, so confirm the disc and pad condition now at 39,049 miles and look for uneven wear. As no model aggregate data exists, rely on this car's own history and a general inspection of fluids, tyres and electrics.
The 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse (HX68AAF) has covered 39,049 miles as of its May 2026 MOT, which is modest for a vehicle now over seven years old. Its MOT history shows five consecutive passes with only a minor 2022 rear brake disc note and 2025 underside corrosion, both of which were advisory rather than failures. No aggregate model reliability data is available, but this individual example has a reassuring record.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mitsubishi Eclipse, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
