2018 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · MK18 RMY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a maintenance trend showing clear improvement following specific mechanical repairs. The most recent test conducted on 23 May 2025 at 49,574 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully addressed and the vehicle currently operates in a condition that meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between March 2024 and May 2025, where the car covered 12,889 miles in just fourteen months, compared to the more relaxed interval of roughly 3,000 miles in the preceding year. The total mileage of 49,574 miles remains low for the age, which generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus specifically on the rear braking system during a physical inspection. The failure in March 2024 at 36,332 miles flagged both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes for corrosion masked by grease. While the subsequent pass suggests these were replaced or treated, the presence of grease on pipes often indicates an attempt to hide structural degradation or leaks. Check for any signs of recurring corrosion. Additionally, verify that the side repeater units are fully functional, as these were recurring points of failure in 2023 and 2024.
