2002 Mitsubishi Unknown 3.0L Petrol · WD02 NEJ

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the October 2025 test pass at 208,462 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came six days after a failed attempt on 2024-10-14 at 208,451 miles, yet the failure carried no recorded defects, mirroring an identical pattern in October 2024 when the car failed on 2024-10-16 at 201,237 miles before passing on 2024-10-18 at 201,247 miles. Such defect-free failures suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration, and no advisories or faults appear anywhere in the chain from the August 2023 pass at 199,004 miles through to today. The odometer shows 208,462 miles against a 2016 build, equating to roughly 20,800 miles per year and placing this Mitsubishi well above typical use for its age. Accumulation stayed moderate between the August 2023 test and October 2024, adding only 2,243 miles in fourteen months, then jumped 7,215 miles by October 2025. The sparse record with just three test years logged leaves gaps that prevent full wear tracking, though the clean sheets imply the previous keeper addressed consumables before each examination. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the high mileage and ten-year age. The repeated defect-free failures warrant confirmation that no latent corrosion or structural integrity concerns exist at the subframes or sills, as the DVSA entries offer no visibility on those areas. Verify the V5C and actual road use, since the 2025 mileage of 208,462 against 208,451 six days earlier shows the car is barely circulating. Standing periods at this age risk seized calipers and flat-spotted tyres despite the clean MOT trail.
