2009 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · WN59 FLX

The Mitsubishi Colt passed its most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 at 115,651 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with three passes and two same-day failures that carried no listed defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical decline. Mileage rose from 100,110 in the September 2023 test to 107,155 by September 2024, then to 115,651 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 7,500 miles per year, close to the 6,803 annual average for a 2009 car. The record is sparse but clean between tests, with no advisories logged on any pass and no wear items flagged across the four-year span. The two failures on 27 September 2023 and 17 September 2025 both showed no defects recorded, which points to paperwork or test centre error rather than owner neglect of consumables. Still, a 17-year-old vehicle with 115,651 miles warrants a physical check of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding, plus underside corrosion and exhaust emissions before purchase. Given the absence of flagged faults, previous keepers likely kept basic upkeep current, though the same-day fail-pass pairs imply the car may have been presented without correct documentation. A buyer should confirm structural integrity and test-drive for drivetrain noise, as the MOT data alone cannot reveal worn components the tester did not record.
