2009 Mitsubishi Grandis 2.0L Diesel · WM09 AYY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on June 6, 2024 at 173,962 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows failures immediately prior to passes in both 2023 and 2024, the owner has consistently addressed the necessary repairs to achieve compliance. The lack of advisories on the latest test certificate suggests that the vehicle is currently in a clean state regarding safety-critical components and immediate mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,233 miles per year over its 17-year lifespan. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the Grandis covered 12,145 miles, followed by another 12,789 miles between June 2023 and June 2024. This steady usage pattern indicates regular operation rather than long periods of stationary time, which is often beneficial for engine seals and brake components, though the high total-mileage figure naturally accelerates the degradation of rubber-based parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension assembly, as these are the primary areas of concern for high-mileage MPVs. Despite the clean recent record, a close look for corrosion on the sills, subframe, and exhaust system is essential given the vehicle's age. The inspector should also verify the condition of the control arm bushes and shock absorber mounts to ensure that the consistent mileage has not led to significant play or wear that has not yet triggered an MOT advisory.
