2005 Mitsubishi Grandis 2.4L Petrol · WV55 ODF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of initial testing failures. The most recent test in April 2023 at 124,666 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just one mile prior. This suggests that the owner is proactive enough to rectify immediate non-compliance issues to secure a certificate, maintaining a clean record without advisories or mechanical degradation across the latest inspection cycles. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 124,666 miles represents an average usage of approximately 5,936 miles per year. The data between March 2022 and April 2023 shows an accumulation of only 4,300 miles in thirteen months, confirming the vehicle is used sparingly or remains stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often invites age-related issues such as perished rubber seals, fluid leaks from stagnation, and the degradation of rubber-based suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Mitsubishi Grandis models are prone to corrosion that may not always manifest until significant. Given the low annual mileage, verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers for pitting or seizing caused by lack of use. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these components fail due to age and environment rather than purely distance travelled.
