2017 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · K18 FBS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 19,559 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one mile prior at 19,558 miles. This specific anomaly likely represents an administrative error or a negligible minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural weakness. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,173 miles per year. Data shows steady, incremental growth between tests, moving from 15,687 miles in October 2022 to 19,559 miles in 2025. This low-frequency usage suggests the car has undergone minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid oxidation that mileage cannot capture. Given the lack of recorded structural or mechanical faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on issues associated with low-mileage storage. Inspect the brake discs for surface spotting or heavy corrosion, which often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Check the tyres for sidew cracking or flat spots, as the rubber compound may dry out despite deep tread depth. The record indicates no history of recurring suspension failures or exhaust rust, suggesting the structural integrity of the chassis remains sound.
