Our Verdict
Strongly recommended. This 2016 Mitsubis
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed, as MOT records do not provide evidence of mechanical servicing. Given the low annual mileage (approximately 4,716 miles per year), check for signs of battery degradation or tyres that may be aged rather than worn.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the presence of a full service record. While the MOT history is clean, verify that the 1193cc engine starts smoothly from cold and that the gearbox operates without hesitation, as these are standard checks for a vehicle of this age.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for urban driving. It typically falls into a low insurance group and a modest road tax bracket, keeping fixed annual costs down.
Maintenance costs for the Mirage are generally low, though owners should budget for standard wear-and-tear items. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £900-£1,200.
Although this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects, the aggregate data for the Mitsubishi Mirage highlights tyres, brake pipes, and exhausts as common failure points. Inspect the tyre treads for uneven wear and check the brake pipes for any signs of corrosion or leakage.
Check the exhaust system for secure mountings and a lack of excessive rust. Finally, perform a thorough check of the interior plastics and electronics to ensure everything is functioning correctly, as is standard for a ten-year-old vehicle.
This grey 1.2L petrol Mirage has covered 47,159 miles since June 2016, which is below the model average. The vehicle's MOT record from 2022 to 2026 is notably clear, with five passes and zero recorded defects or advisories. It represents a low-mileage example of a city car with a consistent testing history.
The Mitsubishi Mirage shows a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 86.5% across 10,752 analysed vehicles.
