2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Exceed 4X4 CVT 1.5L Petrol · WN69 MVD

This Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness across five consecutive MOT tests, with the most recent inspection on 30 March 2026 confirming no defects at 19,829 miles. The absence of advisories or failings in any of the past five tests suggests the vehicle has undergone regular, if not rigorous, maintenance. However, the lack of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and the reliance on CVT transmission components, which are prone to wear over time. The recorded mileage of 19,829 miles over seven years—approximately 2,833 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either limited use or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most significant mileage gap occurs between the 2023 (12,775 miles) and 2022 (9,394 miles) tests, where the vehicle accrued only 3,381 miles in a year, a pattern that may warrant scrutiny of fluid levels, battery health, and potential long-term storage effects. Conversely, the steady progression of mileage in subsequent years suggests consistent, albeit light, usage. Given the absence of MOT-reported faults, a buyer should prioritise inspection of high-wear components not routinely tested, such as the CVT transmission for fluid degradation or unusual wear patterns, and the suspension for degraded bushes or coil springs—common issues in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, should be assessed for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, particularly if the vehicle has experienced extended periods of disuse. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and wheel bearing condition, should also be examined, as these are not always captured in MOT assessments but can pose long-term risks.
