2017 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · WF67 NTG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 53,609 miles passed, yet it carried an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit and edged. This continues a pattern seen in previous years where components are only addressed once they reach a critical point of failure, rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 53,609 miles over nine years, the Mitsubishi Mirage has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. However, the data shows a sharp spike in usage between January 2023 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered 11,855 miles in a single year. Following this period, usage dropped again, with only 6,170 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake fluid moisture if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should closely inspect the vehicle for alignment issues, as the recurring advisories for tyres being worn on the edges across 2024, 2025, and 2026 suggest incorrect tracking geometry or worn suspension bushes. The failure in January 2025 due to front brake pads being under 1.5mm thick confirms that the owner neglects basic consumable items until they fail an inspection. Physical inspection of the brake discs for uneven wear or sticking calipers is advised, alongside checking the nearside wiper assembly, which previously caused a failure for poor clearing.
