Our Verdict
Not recommended for all but specialist buyers due to extreme age, high mileage, and recurring mechanical issues.
This vehicle is a high-risk purchase requiring expert inspection. Focus on engine condition, transmission health, and corrosion throughout the chassis. Negotiate heavily given its age and mileage - expect to reduce price by 40-60% from private seller listings. Verify service history for any records of major repairs. Be prepared for frequent maintenance costs and potential breakdowns. Consider only if you have mechanical expertise or plan to use as a project car.
Fuel economy is likely poor due to 3.0L petrol engine and age, with estimated 20-25 mpg. Tax would be £220 annually (standard rate for petrol vehicles over 15 years). Insurance group likely 12-15 (average for 1990s saloon), costing £800-£1,200/year. Maintenance costs could exceed £1,000/year for parts replacement and labor. Total annual running cost estimated at £1,500-£2,000.
Thoroughly check brake disc thickness and condition (recurring issue in MOT history). Inspect exhaust system for leaks and corrosion, particularly near manifold. Examine suspension components for wear given high mileage. Check body for rust, especially around wheel arches and undercarriage. Test engine compression and check for oil leaks. Verify steering components for play or wear. Review full service history for any major repairs or rebuilds.
This 1993 Mitsubishi has exceeded typical lifespan for a vehicle, with 102,439 miles recorded at its last MOT. While recent MOTs show no critical failures, historical data reveals recurring brake disc wear (2022-2023) and exhaust leaks (2022). The vehicle's age and mileage present significant risks, with limited residual value and high maintenance demands.
