2010 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · VO60 LSF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 32,462 miles passed without failures, it flagged both rear tyres as reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This follows a pattern seen in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the owner only addresses components once they approach failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. At sixteen years old, the recorded mileage of 32,462 miles is exceptionally low, averaging just over 2,000 miles per year. The data shows a period of relative inactivity between November 2022 and July 2023, where the car covered only 1,160 miles in over eight months. This low usage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion on exposed surfaces due to long periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and rear suspension components. The 2022 failure for imbalanced nearsside brakes, followed by a 2023 advisory for worn front brake discs, suggests the braking system may experience uneven wear or sticking. The recurring edge wear on the rear tyres across three consecutive tests points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate professional attention. Given the age and low mileage, also check the chassis for structural corrosion, as low-mileage older vehicles often suffer from surface rust rather than mechanical fatigue.
