2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · RN19 OFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 10 February 2026. While the overall trend appears stable, the most recent test result indicates a lapse in preventative maintenance. The car failed the initial test that day at 52,085 miles due to a dipped beam headlamp and thin rear brake pads. The fact that the vehicle passed immediately after these rectifications suggests the owner is reactive to testing failures rather than performing proactive component replacements. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 31,186 miles and February 2026 at 52,085 miles, the car covered roughly 21,000 miles over three years, representing a steady usage profile. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of stationary storage, and the clean records from 2024 and 2025 indicate that the primary mechanical and structural components remained in good condition without advisories during those intervals. A buyer should inspect the braking system in person to ensure the rear pads replaced in the February 2026 test were fitted correctly and that the calipers are not seizing. Given the recent failure for thin pads, it is worth checking the remaining life of the discs for signs of glazing or uneven wear. Since the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or suspension issues, the focus should remain on basic consumables and the electrical integrity of the lighting assembly to ensure the headlamp failure was not symptomatic of a deeper wiring fault.
