2013 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · LS07 WLS

This 2013 Mitsubishi Mirage presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 7 January 2026 at 70,939 miles passing cleanly with zero defects. The vehicle has consistently passed its annual tests since at least 2022, and the absence of any advisories or failures in the last three consecutive tests suggests the current owner has kept on top of routine servicing and consumable replacements. The 2023 test was the last to flag any issues, and those were all minor wear items rather than structural or mechanical defects. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,457 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 60,383 miles and the January 2024 test at 64,377 miles, the car covered 3,994 miles, and then added a further 2,938 miles by the January 2025 test at 67,315 miles. The final jump to 70,939 miles by January 2026 represents 3,624 miles in the most recent year, confirming a consistent but modest annual usage pattern with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes that might indicate a mileage discrepancy or prolonged periods of disuse. The 2023 test flagged front brake pads wearing thin and front brake discs showing wear, pitting, or scoring, along with a defective wiper blade. These are all consumable items expected on a vehicle of this age and mileage, and the fact that no brake or wiper defects have reappeared in the subsequent three tests indicates they were promptly addressed. The 2022 advisory regarding a child seat obstructing the offside rear adult belt inspection is a minor administrative note rather than a mechanical concern, though a buyer should still verify the condition of all seatbelt webbing and buckles in person. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front brake components, even though they passed in 2024 through 2026, by checking disc thickness and pad life remaining. The underbody and suspension mounting points deserve close scrutiny for corrosion, as the low annual mileage combined with age means the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which can promote surface rust on exhaust components, subframes, and suspension bushes. Tyre condition and age should also be verified, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from perished sidewalls due to infrequent use rather than tread wear.
