2002 Mitsubishi Space Wagon 2.0L Petrol · LO52 AFE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-14 at 121,889 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but an identical date also shows a failure with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests a potential data entry error, though the latest valid pass indicates current roadworthiness. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the history, and the absence of advisories or failures in prior tests from 2022 to 2024 implies a stable maintenance pattern. The car’s mileage of 121,889 miles over 24 years equates to approximately 5,079 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could reflect infrequent driving or extended periods of inactivity, which may lead to issues like battery degradation, fluid stagnation, or seized components. The MOTs spaced 12–14 months apart align with standard intervals, but the minimal mileage gain between tests (e.g., 1,351 miles between 2024-06 and 2023-06) raises questions about the vehicle’s operational history. A buyer should inspect for signs of prolonged inactivity, such as corrosion on suspension bushes, binding calipers, or uneven brake disc wear, which may not surface in MOT tests. The lack of recorded defects does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in electrical systems or undercarriage components. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as low-mileage vehicles may develop rust or leaks undetected by routine inspections.
