2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · SW18 GVX

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 9 June 2026 at 25,419 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend has remained stable over the last five years of testing, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a good standard without the development of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,177 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 15,677 miles and the June 2026 test at 25,419 miles, the car covered 9,742 miles, indicating very infrequent annual use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks associated with long periods of standing, such as brake-spotted rotors, rubber degradation in bushings, or perished seals. Despite the clean digital record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on components most affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or flat spotting, as these occur when vehicles sit for long periods. Examine the suspension arm bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as the age of the rubber often outweighs the low tread depth. Additionally, verify that service history has followed annual intervals rather than mileage-based intervals to ensure fluids and oils have remained fresh.
