2014 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · WR14 GLK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 82,964 miles. Following a mechanical failure in late 2023, the car has successfully undergone three consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the primary issues identified previously were effectively rectified and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a standard that meets regulatory requirements. The mileage pattern remains consistent with low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year over its twelve-year life. A notable gap exists between the 2022 test at 88,669 miles and the 2023 test at 72,243 miles, indicating a period of significant inactivity or a discrepancy in recorded figures. However, subsequent entries show roughly 5,000 miles driven between late 2024 and 2026, reflecting a predictable usage trend. This low annual mileage reduces the expected wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage counterparts. The failure in December 2023 due to a major exhaust leak and inability to complete emissions testing is the only critical point in the history. While the vehicle passed the following day, a buyer should physically inspect the exhaust manifold and piping for signs of corrosion or poor welding that could indicate future leaks. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, inspection should also focus on the degradation of rubber components and suspension bushes, which can perish through age rather than purely mechanical wear.
