2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · WM19 TNO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward minor reactive repairs in recent years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 32,023 miles passed despite an advisory regarding a perishing offside front tyre. This follows a 2024 test where the tester flagged a non-excessive oil leak. While the vehicle has passed its inspections, the appearance of fluid leaks and tyre degradation suggests that components are beginning to require attention. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 32,023 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of roughly 6,400 miles between June 2022 and June 2023, and another 4,000 miles leading into the 2024 test. This low annual mileage often explains the premature degradation of rubber components, as seen in the 2023 failure where four tyres were flagged for cracking, perishing, or damage rather than simple tread wear. A buyer should inspect the engine bay specifically for the source of the oil leak identified in 2024 to determine if it is a simple gasket or a more significant seal failure. Given the history of tyre perishing, a physical check of all sidewalls is necessary to look for dry rot, which is common on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. The braking system should also be examined for corrosion, as low-mileage cars are prone to pitted discs and seized calipers that are not always caught during a standard MOT inspection.
