2020 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · SC69 WKO

The Mitsubishi Mirage presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 2 September 2025 at 37,239 miles passing cleanly with zero defects. That is a strong result for a six-year-old city car. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural failures, and the only defect in the entire history was a single tyre worn below the 1.6mm legal limit, which was rectified on the same day. There is no evidence of corrosion, suspension wear, brake faults, or exhaust emissions issues at any point. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable. From the first test at 15,117 miles on 31 January 2023 to the latest at 37,239 miles on 2 September 2025, the car covered roughly 22,100 miles in just under three years, averaging around 7,400 miles annually in that period. That sits slightly above the overall lifetime average of 6,206 miles per year, suggesting the car has been used more regularly in recent years rather than sitting idle. No large gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record, and the annual test dates have been kept consistently around the autumn window. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on the areas that typically deteriorate on small hatchbacks used for short urban trips. Check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the nearside front was the only tyre to fail historically, and verify even tread wear across all four wheels. Inspect the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar links for play, and examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, even though no fault was flagged. Look underneath for any fresh surface rust on the exhaust system or subframe, particularly around the rear mounting points. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a short test drive over speed bumps and a hard brake application from 40 mph will confirm whether the dampers and braking system remain in good order.
