2013 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · ND63 WAA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 25 February 2026, but the recorded advisories indicate a worsening trend regarding corrosion and component degradation. While the 2024 test showed no defects, subsequent inspections have introduced multiple concerns. The February 2026 report flags worn and pitted front brake discs alongside thinning brake pads, following previous advisories for corroded fuel pipes and a perished fuel cap seal that first appeared in the 2025 test. The vehicle has covered 23,308 miles over its 13-year lifespan, averaging approximately 1,793 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use, which often correlates with the type of degradation seen in the records. The presence of corroded fuel pipes, a perished fuel cap seal, and general underbody corrosion is consistent with a vehicle that spends significant time stationary or in environments where moisture can settle on components without the cleansing effect of regular, high-speed driving. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the fuel system and the underbody. The MOT history shows recurring advisories for corroded fuel pipes dating back to at least December 2023, and the December 2023 test specifically noted general corrosion to the suspension and underbody. The February 2026 test also highlighted corrosion on the exhaust. These issues suggest that structural and fluid-carrying components are actively deteriorating. Mechanical attention should also be directed toward the braking system. The latest test at 23,308 miles identifies thinning pads and scored front discs, which follows a 2023 advisory regarding corroded rear brake pipes. Given the repeated mentions of corrosion across the fuel, brake, and exhaust systems, the vehicle requires a close examination of all metalwork beneath the car to determine the extent of the oxidation. buying_score: 42 risk_level: High.
