2018 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · SW18 GVE

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a clear improving trend in maintenance following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 76,150 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical and structural issues identified in previous years were addressed, and the vehicle has maintained a clean record over the last two annual cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,50 miles per annum. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 14,304 miles, followed by a further 13,082 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal seals from drying or components seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and underbody condition. The 2022 and 2023 tests flagged thin offside front brake pads and corroded front-to-rear brake pipes that were obscured by grease and the undertray. While the recent passes suggest these issues were rectified, a visual check of the brake lines is necessary to ensure the corrosion has not progressed beyond the points previously repaired. Additionally, given the 2022 failure for low tyre tread on multiple corners, the current state of all four tyres should be verified for uneven wear or signs of age.
