2009 Mitsubishi Colt 1.5L Petrol · RA59 ART

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 31 May 2025 at 80,638 miles resulted in no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have successfully maintained the vehicle to meet DVSA standards without allowing mechanical or structural issues to reach failure thresholds. The mileage pattern reflects high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,440 miles per year over its six-year life. Between the June 2021 test at 54,449 miles and the May 2025 test at 80,638 miles, the car covered over 26,000 miles. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle was used for regular commuting rather than sitting stationary for long periods. The lack of any advisories across five tests despite this high mileage suggests that the drivetrain and chassis components have handled the annual load effectively. While the digital record shows no recurring faults, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to the 80,000-mile wear threshold. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue or tearing, as the high annual mileage puts significant stress on these parts. Examine the brake discs for thinning and check the calipers to ensure no binding has developed despite the consistent use. Given the age, also inspect the underbody for any emerging corrosion on structural points or exhaust linings to ensure the integrity remains as sound for future tests.
