2015 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · SF15 ACB

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 22 July 2025 at 52,143 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for an eleven year old car, averaging roughly 4,740 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between July 2024 and July 2025, where the odometer rose from 41,175 to 52,143 miles. This jump of nearly 11,000 miles in a single year deviates from the previous trend of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles per annum seen between 2022 and 2024. The record shows a failure on 12 July 2023 at 32,786 miles, though the vehicle passed two days later at the same mileage. The lack of detailed defect data for that specific failure is unusual, but the immediate resolution suggests a minor rectification. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, it provides little data on the gradual wear of consumables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, degraded suspension bushes, and brake discs that may have surface corrosion or pitting from standing. Check for tyre perishing or flat spots if the car spent long periods stationary. Given the lack of flagged structural issues or corrosion in the DVSA records, a visual check of the underbody for rust remains the primary priority.
