2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · SH19 SFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in February 2026 at 53,335 miles resulted in a failure due to excessively worn rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and thin brake pads. While the vehicle passed immediately after these repairs, the presence of thin brake pads on both front and rear axles suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components once they reach the point of MOT failure. At 53,336 miles over seven years, the Mitsubishi has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a modern hatchback. The mileage accumulation shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 7,600 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,800 miles between February 2025 and 2026. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat idle for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of the rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should physically inspect the rear suspension assembly to ensure the new anti-roll bar linkages have been fitted correctly with quality parts and that no other bushes or joints show immediate play. Given the 2025 failure for front tyre tread depth below the legal limit, a thorough check of all tyres is necessary to look for uneven wear which might indicate alignment issues. Because the brakes were flagged as thin in the latest record, the brake discs should be examined for scoring or thinning, as the owner is clearly pushing consumables to their absolute limit before replacement.
