2020 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · WV20 LCG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor lapse in preventative maintenance. After three years of clean passes, the June 2026 test at 16,465 miles failed due to headlamp aim and thin offside front outer brake pads. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass on the same day, the appearance of brake pad wear at such low mileage suggests that components are not being monitored or replaced proactively between annual testing intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,744 miles per annum. Between May 2023 at 11,230 miles and June 2026 at 16,465 miles, the car covered only 5,235 miles. This low usage pattern typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading or brake discs seizing due to inactivity if the car has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the braking system to ensure the offside front pads were replaced correctly and that the discs show no signs of pitting or uneven scoring. The headlamp aim failure is a simple adjustment issue, but it is worth verifying that the housings are secure and not vibrating. Given the low annual mileage, pay close attention to flat spots on the tyres and cracking in the sidewalls, as these are common issues in vehicles that are infrequently used.
