2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · SW18 GVJ

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the 28 May 2026 MOT at 86,122 miles with no recorded defects. The record shows a shift from earlier failures and advisory items to clean results, indicating an improving maintenance trend over the last two years. Mileage averages roughly 10,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2018 model. Between the 9 May 2022 test (52,015 miles) and the most recent test the car accumulated about 34,000 miles in four annual intervals, with each MOT spaced roughly twelve months apart and no unexplained gaps, suggesting consistent driving rather than prolonged storage. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the braking system and tyre condition. The 21 May 2024 test flagged corrosion on both rear brake pipes, while the 9 May 2022 test recorded thin front brake pads and pitted front discs; confirming that the pipes are free of rust and that pads and discs are within safe thickness is essential. Tyre wear and damage were noted in 2022 (rear tyre close to legal limit and slight cracking on both rear tyres) and in 2021 (front tyres below 1.6 mm tread), so a visual and tread‑depth inspection of all four tyres is advised. Finally, verify that the chassis shows no excessive rust and that suspension bushes and coil springs are intact, as no structural advisories appear in the MOT history but corrosion on brake components can be a proxy for broader rust exposure.
