2010 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · LB10 AFK

This Mitsubishi Colt demonstrates an unusually consistent record of roadworthiness, maintaining a clean bill of health across its recent inspection history. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories over the last four years, culminating in a clean pass on 23 June 2025, indicates a vehicle that has remained mechanically stable without the typical degradation seen in cars of this vintage. With a recorded mileage of 79,436 miles over sixteen years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 4,965 miles per annum. This low annual accumulation suggests the car has not been subjected to the heavy wear and tear associated with high-mileage commuting. Mechanically, this typically results in less fatigue on the engine internals and drivetrain components compared to higher-mileage examples of the same model. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the physical inspection should focus on verifying the condition of the underbody and suspension. While the MOT history is clear, a prospective buyer should check for any signs of surface corrosion on the subframe and suspension mounting points. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes or coil springs when traversing uneven surfaces, as these components can perish with age regardless of the distance traveled. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and steering response to ensure the mechanical reality aligns with the documented history. Ensure there is no pedal judder under braking, which would indicate warped discs, and confirm the steering is centered without any pull to either side. The focus remains on confirming that the vehicle handles predictably and without abnormal vibrations through the chassis, as the clean MOT record suggests a vehicle in a high state of repair.
