2019 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · WD68 EZX

An unusually low usage profile defines this vehicle, which has recorded only 10,715 miles over its seven-year lifespan. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with the most recent result on 12 January 2026 showing no defects. Aside from a single failure in early 2024 regarding ineffective windscreen wipers on both the nearside and offside, the vehicle has maintained a clean record, suggesting that mechanical components subject to standard wear have not yet faced significant degradation according to the official testing data. The recorded mileage averages approximately 1,531 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the typical UK annual average. While this indicates minimal wear on high-friction components such as brake pads, discs, and tyres, such low annual accumulation can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Mechanically, very low mileage does not automatically equate to a lack of wear; rather, it shifts the focus toward components that can degrade through inactivity, such as rubber seals, suspension bushes, or fluid breakdown, though no specific defects related to these have been flagged in the current DVSA records. Buyer guidance should focus on the specific items that have appeared in the history. The 2024 failure for windscreen wipers suggests that the wiper motor or the wiper arms themselves may have lacked regular movement or had degraded rubber blades, so ensure the wipers clear the glass smoothly without streaking or juddering during a test drive. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding a nail in the offside rear tyre indicates a history of minor puncture risks; you should inspect the current tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres to ensure they are not aged or showing signs of perishing from long-term standing. During a road test, pay close attention to the steering and suspension response to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in seized components or dried-out rubber bushings. Listen for any knocks or knocks over uneven surfaces and check for any pulling to one side, which could indicate uneven tyre wear or alignment issues. Given the low mileage, also verify that the braking system feels firm and consistent, checking for any sponginess or vibration through the pedal that might suggest internal fluid or seal issues common in vehicles that are driven infrequently.
