2006 Mitsubishi Colt 1.5L Diesel · LV06 ACF

This two-thousand-and-six Mitsubishi Colt presents a mixed roadworthiness condition with a maintenance trend that shows an uptick in mechanical wear over the last two annual inspections. In the most recent test on fourteenth November twenty twenty-five at eighty-four thousand four hundred and ninety-four miles, the vehicle passed after initially failing due to a non-functional offside main beam headlamp and incorrectly projected headlamp aim. Advisories from that same test highlight a nearside front wheel bearing exhibiting slight play and noise, alongside a nearside front tyre wearing down to two point eight millimetres on the edge. The previous test on twenty-second October twenty twenty-four at seventy-nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-five miles also required a failure rectification, specifically addressing a leaking nearside rear brake hydraulic caliper and a low brake fluid reservoir. The vehicle has covered eighty-four thousand four hundred and ninety-four miles over its twenty-year lifespan, averaging roughly four thousand two hundred miles annually. This low mileage profile indicates light town or suburban usage rather than heavy motorway accumulation. The test frequency is regular and consistent, with examinations occurring annually in the autumn months. Specifically, the odometer progressed by four thousand and seventy miles between October twenty twenty-four and November twenty twenty-five, mirroring its historical pace and confirming the car has not suffered from extended periods of sitting dormant. A prospective buyer must thoroughly inspect the nearside front corner for wheel bearing play and auditory drone during a test drive, as this advisory will likely demand component replacement before the next MOT. The front lighting alignment and the condition of both rear indicator bulbs require verification to ensure proper electrical operation and lens clarity. Checking the rear braking system for any residual fluid around the nearside caliper and confirming adequate fluid levels in the master cylinder reservoir will address the hydraulic concerns noted in late twenty twenty-four. Finally, budgeting for a replacement nearside front tyre is prudent given its shallow tread depth close to the statutory limit.
