2014 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.0L Petrol · KF64 MDX

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-26 confirmed the vehicle passed with two minor issues. The offside rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit, requiring replacement soon to avoid failure. An advisory noted items in the rear passenger area that could distract the driver, though this is not a safety risk. No other defects were recorded, and the vehicle has no history of major failures. The MOT history is limited to a single entry, so no long-term trend in mechanical condition can be confirmed. The vehicle’s age (12 years) and low mileage (67,954 miles) suggest it has been used lightly, but this also raises questions about potential under-use. Low mileage can lead to issues like rubber component degradation or fluid stagnation if the car has been parked for extended periods. However, no evidence of such problems appears in the MOT records. The mileage of 5,663 miles per year is significantly below average for a 12-year-old vehicle, which might indicate infrequent use or storage. While this could reduce wear on moving parts, it may also mean components like the battery, belts, or suspension bushings have aged without regular stress.
