Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the exceptionally high mileage for a city car of this age. While the recent clean MOT passes are encouraging, the high usage suggests significant wear and tear on mechanical components.
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise a thorough test drive to listen for any suspension rattles or gearbox whine, as the high mileage may have taken its toll on these areas. Check the service history meticulously; a car with this many miles requires evidence of regular oil changes and maintenance to remain reliable.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage, as it will impact future resale value. Ensure that all electrical features, including the air conditioning and infotainment system, are fully functional, as these can be costly to repair on older models.
The 1.2-litre petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this an economical choice for urban commuting. You should expect decent fuel economy, though real-world figures may be slightly lower than factory claims due to the engine's age and mileage.
Annual tax and insurance costs for a 2013 Mirage are generally low, placing it in a favourable insurance group for most drivers. Budget for slightly higher maintenance costs than a lower-mileage example, as parts like the clutch, suspension bushes, and exhaust system may be nearing the end of their service life.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering components, as these are common wear points on high-mileage hatchbacks. Check the condition of the tyres and brakes; even if they passed the MOT, they may be close to their legal limits given the mileage covered between tests.
Inspect the bodywork for signs of corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as this is a 13-year-old vehicle. Although the recent MOT history shows no defects, verify that the engine runs smoothly from a cold start and check for any signs of oil leaks under the bonnet.
This 2013 Mitsubishi Mirage has covered over 134,000 miles, which is substantially higher than the average for a vehicle of this type. Despite the high mileage, the car has demonstrated a clean bill of health in recent MOT tests, with no recorded defects in the last two years. It represents a budget-friendly option, but prospective buyers should account for the potential for age-related component fatigue.
While specific aggregate data is unavailable, the Mitsubishi Mirage is generally regarded as a simple, mechanically straightforward city car with few complex systems to fail.
