Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the vehicle is 20 years old, the primary focus should be on the service history. While the MOT records are clean, they do not confirm the frequency of oil changes or the status of the timing belt/chain. Request evidence of regular servicing to ensure the 1.3L engine has been properly lubricated over its 98,000-mile lifespan.
When negotiating, consider the age of the vehicle and the likely need for upcoming wear-and-tear replacements. Ensure you verify the date of the last major service and check for any invoices related to clutch or suspension work, which are common requirements for cars approaching the 100,000-mile mark.
The 1.3L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, offering reasonable fuel economy for its era. As a 2006 model, it falls into an older tax bracket, and insurance groups for the Colt are typically low, making it an economical choice for new drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs are generally modest, though parts for older Mitsubishis can occasionally take longer to source than for more common domestic brands. Typical annual spending will cover the MOT, basic servicing, and periodic tyre replacements.
While this specific vehicle has no recent MOT defects, you should still inspect the common failure points identified across the wider Colt population. Specifically, check the headlamps for clouding or oxidation, the tyre tread depth and condition, and the brake discs for significant wear or corrosion.
Additionally, perform a thorough visual inspection of the chassis and wheel arches for rust, which is a common issue for cars registered in 2006. Check the operation of all electrical components and the condition of the interior upholstery, as the MOT does not cover these aspects of the vehicle's condition.
This silver 2006 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L petrol has a recorded mileage of 98,507 miles. The vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests consecutively without a single defect or advisory recorded since May 2022. Its overall usage patterns align closely with the average for this model.
The Mitsubishi Colt has a moderate reliability reputation, with an average MOT pass rate of 72.1% across 30,221 analysed vehicles.
