2016 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · SP16 VLT

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 22 April 2025 at 55,793 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is notably low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 5,579 miles per year. The odometer reading grew by 4,379 miles between February 2023 and May 2024, followed by a slower accumulation of 4,316 miles over the subsequent year leading to the April 2025 test. This steady, low-volume usage suggests the car has avoided the heavy wear typically associated with high-mileage urban commuting. The absence of any recorded advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions across multiple years is rare. While the record shows a failure and immediate pass on 7 May 2024 at 51,477 miles, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Low-use vehicles often suffer from perished rubber seals, tyre cracking due to age rather than tread wear, and potential battery degradation. Check for signs of brake caliper seizing or fluid moisture contamination, as these are common risks for cars that spend long periods stationary.
