2011 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · SM11 XEX

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows an improving trend in terms of compliance, following a failure in May 2025. The most recent test on 9 June 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of instability where the May 2025 test initially failed due to a non-functioning offside front dipped beam headlamp and a non-functioning offside rear position lamp. The recorded mileage of 50,590 miles is low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 3,373 miles per year. The MOT records show consistent annual testing from May 2023 through to June 2026, with no significant gaps in the inspection timeline. While the low mileage suggests infrequent use, the lack of recorded mileage increments between specific test dates prevents a precise calculation of recent usage patterns. A buyer should focus on the exhaust system during a physical inspection. The May 2025 test flagged an advisory for a minor leak of exhaust gases from the central rear exhaust. Although the June 2026 test passed without further mention of this issue, the previous advisory indicates a potential weakness in the exhaust manifold or piping that warrants a close visual check for corrosion or loose connections. Beyond the exhaust, the electrical components should be verified. The 2025 failure regarding the headlamp and position lamp suggests that bulb replacements or wiring repairs were necessary to achieve the subsequent pass. No issues regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural integrity were noted in the provided history, but the low annual mileage means components may have been subject to more stationary time than heavy mechanical wear. buying_score: 72 risk_level: Low.
