2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · WJ18 CFK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT in January 2026 at 57,469 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the 2025 test, where multiple defects were identified. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the previous owner addressed the outstanding wear items flagged in the prior year. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-intensity use, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 9,150 miles, showing a slight spike in usage compared to the 7,740 miles recorded between 2023 and 2024. Despite this fluctuation, the overall mileage remains low for the age, which generally reduces stress on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyres, given the recurring issues in these areas. The 2025 test flagged thin brake pads on both axles and worn front tyres, indicating that while the 2026 test was clean, the components are nearing the end of their service life. Verify the current depth of the brake pads and check for uneven tyre wear to ensure no alignment or caliper binding issues have persisted since the 2022 and 2025 advisories.
