2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse 1.5L Petrol · WR68 RTX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 October 2025 at 66,842 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met the required standard at that time. The history shows a lack of recurring failures, suggesting the vehicle has undergone consistent maintenance throughout its life. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,355 miles per year. Between the October 2021 test at 31,907 miles and the October 2025 test at 66,842 miles, the car covered 34,935 miles, which aligns with typical annual usage expectations. This steady accumulation suggests the car has seen regular road miles, which is generally preferable for maintaining components like seals and suspension bushings that can perish prematurely during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should pay attention to the minor obstructions noted in previous tests. In October 2024, the tester flagged front items removed from the driver's view, and in October 2022, a rear child seat prevented a full inspection of the adult seat belt. While these were administrative advisories rather than mechanical failures, a physical inspection should verify that the dashboard remains unobstructed and that all seat belt mechanisms function freely and free of fray. Since the record shows no advisories for corrosion or brake wear, the focus should remain on checking the current state of tyres and the condition of the brake pads, which are not detailed in the MOT history.
