2006 Mitsubishi Colt 1.1L Petrol · LL55 CNF

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently in poor standing, as the MOT record reveals a clear deterioration trend. The most recent test on 2025-03-10 at 123,299 miles was passed, but this result was immediately followed by a failed test on 2025-03-07 at the same mileage, indicating a failure to maintain the required standard. This sequence suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance for several years, with the first failure occurring just two weeks after the initial pass, marking a significant lapse in the driver's record. The mileage accumulation is substantial, with the vehicle averaging approximately 6,165 miles per year. This rate is consistent with a typical 2006 MITSUBISHI COLT, which implies that the mechanical wear patterns are not accelerating as expected due to normal usage. However, the absence of a gap between the two most recent failed tests at 123,299 miles suggests that the vehicle has not been serviced since the initial failure. Without any recorded repairs or preventative maintenance between these two incidents, the risk of catastrophic failure on the next test is high. Given the recurring faults and the lack of recent maintenance, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. The history indicates that the system has been subjected to significant wear, particularly around the rear suspension and the brake assembly, which may require immediate replacement. While the vehicle may appear drivable at this stage, the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs are the primary concerns. A thorough visual inspection is required to determine if the braking system is still functional or if it is compromised by corrosion or binding calipers.
