2010 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · VO10 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT test in February 2024 at 106,112 miles passing without any recorded defects. This indicates that previous mechanical issues were addressed and the car currently meets minimum standards. The history shows a pattern of resolving failures from January 2022 at 88,962 miles and March 2023 at 96,497 miles. The transition to a clean test sheet suggests the owner has been proactive in rectifying the faults flagged by the tester. At 106,112 miles over several years, the car has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is below the national average. This lower mileage typically results in less wear on major components such as brake discs, coil springs, and suspension bushes. The intervals between tests are consistent, with the vehicle being presented annually, suggesting a regular Routine of maintenance rather than long periods of neglect or stationary use. While the current record is clear, a buyer should still inspect the specific areas that caused the failures in 2022 and 2023. Given the age of the vehicle, a close inspection of the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches remains necessary, as MOT tests only flag rust once it reaches significant depth. Check for any binding calipers or excessive play in steering components to ensure the recent clean result is maintained under new ownership.
