2019 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · VF19 XMH

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 70,485 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of failures related to consumable components. While the history indicates past reactive maintenance, the most recent clean certificate suggests the current owner has addressed the immediate mechanical issues identified in previous inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between the 43,082 miles recorded in September 2023 and 56,322 miles in September 2024, the car covered over 13,000 miles in a year. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the health of components like rubber-based suspension bushes and seals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyres and wheel alignment, as the record reveals recurring issues with tyre quality and pressure monitoring. The 2023 failure for a structural bulge on the offside front tyre and the 2024 failure involving multiple tyres with low tread depth and uneven wear indicate that previous owners neglected basic tyre maintenance. You must verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system is now functional, as this was a primary reason for the September 2024 failure. While the record lacks recorded structural corrosion or brake failures, the focus should remain on the wear-and-tear items. Given the 70,000-mile mark, check for signs of shock absorber wear or play in the steering components. The absence of advisories in the last two tests is a positive sign, but the previous history of tyre-related failures suggests that minor maintenance tasks have been overlooked until they reached a critical failure point.
