2014 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · MJ14 UFP

The vehicle maintains a high roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 8 July 2025 at 41,994 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend of total passes over the last five years indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without the recurring failures often seen in older budget vehicles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2025, the vehicle covered 8,229 miles, moving from 33,765 to 41,994 miles. This low-frequency use suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and suspension bushings. However, the long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown, which a standard MOT test does not fully capture. Since the record shows no historical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on issues associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer should check brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as calipers often seize when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Examine the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, which occurs due to age despite sufficient tread depth. Despite the clean history, verifying the integrity of the chassis for surface rust remains necessary to ensure the low mileage has not masked exposure to damp storage environments.
