2010 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · VO10 LRV

The Mitsubishi Colt presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 March 2026 at 105,272 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 5 March 2025 at 99,055 miles also showed a clean sheet. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 5 March 2025 at 99,055 miles with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across five years the vehicle has avoided repeat advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2010 registration. The record shows 84,791 miles on 20 February 2023, rising to 93,874 miles by 27 March 2024, then 99,055 miles on 5 March 2025, and 105,272 miles by 4 March 2026. That equates to roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or long dormant gaps. The sparse, clean history suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumable upkeep current and did not defer tyres or wiper blades to failure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's sixteen-year age. Though no test flagged welding or subframe rust, moisture attack on sills and suspension mounts is common on Colts of this era. Check the coil springs and damper mounts for fatigue, and confirm brake calipers are free rather than binding after standing. The MOT data implies sound care, but paper cleanliness does not certify component life on a high-mileage 2010 hatchback.
