2013 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · WK63 GVJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent MOT test in February 2026 at 116,625 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior for multiple defects. The tester flagged a failed offside position lamp, a nearside rear tyre below the legal tread limit, and thin front brake pads. This sequence suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues when necessitated by a test failure rather than performing preventative maintenance between inspections. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There was a significant jump of 13,455 miles recorded between January 2024 and February 2025, followed by another 11,694 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, which helps prevent components from seizing due however, though the total of over 116,000 miles places significant wear on age-related rubber, suspension bushings, and drivetrain components. A buyer must personally inspect the braking system thoroughly, as the record shows thin front pads appearing in both 2023 and 2026. The buyer should also check the brake discs for uneven wear or glazing resulting from allowing pads to run to their wear indicators. The offside windscreen noted as damaged in early 2026 should be examined for spreading stress cracks that could compromise structural integrity over time. Given the history of a damaged seat belt and a nail in a tyre, a comprehensive check of the interior fit and all tyre conditions is necessary to ensure no other neglected consumables remain.
