2008 Mitsubishi Colt 1.5L Diesel · WN08 OHF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT test on 09 March 2026, which recorded no defects. The overall maintenance trend appears stable over the last three years, as the car has passed three consecutive tests without advisories. While a failure was noted on 07 March 2024, the immediate re-test on the same day indicates that the specific mechanical issue was rectified promptly to meet minimum safety standards. At 98,466 miles, this 18-year-old Mitsubishi has averaged approximately 5,470 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has seen light use or has spent significant periods stationary, though this can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The record shows consistent annual testing between 2023 and 2026, though the lack of mileage data between specific tests in earlier years makes it difficult to determine the rate of wear on the drivetrain or braking system during those intervals. A physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to corrosion if left in damp environments. The buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these components often age regardless of distance driven. Additionally, checking the brake calipers for binding or excessive pitting on the discs is necessary to ensure that the clean MOT record reflects current operational health rather than just a lack of immediate mechanical failure. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
