2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Design SE 4X2 1.5L Petrol · SA70 GKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of neglecting minor consumables until inspection failure. The most recent test in October 2025 at 46,277 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system and a damaged nearside front tyre. While the vehicle has passed its inspections, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the previous owner only addressed issues when prompted by the MOT tester rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 46,277 miles over six years, the Mitsubishi has averaged approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns well with typical UK usage patterns for a family crossover. The mileage data shows consistent annual growth, with roughly 4,400 miles driven between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mechanical stress, though the low mileage relative to age can sometimes mask the degradation of rubber components or the development of surface corrosion on metal surfaces. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the October 2023 test flagged both front and the nearside rear brake discs as pitted or scored. Although these were not considered structurally weakened at the time, the presence of pitting often indicates periods of inactivity or moisture retention that can accelerate corrosion. Additionally, the recurring reports of tyre cracking and perishing across 2023 and 2025 indicate that the rubber may be reaching its age limit despite sufficient tread depth. A physical inspection should check all tyres for sidewall cracking and verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system is now fully operational following the previous failure.
