2009 Mitsubishi Colt 1.5L Petrol · WR58 LFH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent string of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in November 2025 at 105,552 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency carries back through the 2024 and 2023 tests, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been operating within acceptable parameters without recurring failures. The mileage data indicates a period of very low usage or extended storage in recent years. Between January 2020 at 101,955 miles and November 2025 at 105,552 miles, the car covered only 3,597 miles over five years. This averages to roughly 600 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average of 7,000 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion due to inactivity. Because the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on the risks associated with low-mileage aging. A buyer must inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly in the sills and wheel arches, as older Japanese vehicles are prone to rust regardless of distance driven. The suspension should be checked for cracks in the bushes, as these materials dry out over time even without use. Additionally, the braking system should be tested to ensure the calipers have not seized and the discs have not developed pitting from the long periods of inactivity.
