2013 Mitsubishi Mirage 1.2L Petrol · YE13 MXC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile having passed its most recent inspection in January 2025 with 116,648 miles and no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully addressed. While the 2024 test showed early signs of suspension-related wear, the transition to a clean sheet in the latest test suggests the owner has been proactive in addressing flagged advisory faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between December 2021 at 72,352 miles and January 2023 at 90,173 miles, during which the car covered nearly 18,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has levelled to roughly 8,000 miles annually, suggesting regular driving cycles which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The January 2024 test flagged wear on the offside front suspension arm bush and play in the nearside front outer track rod end. Although these were cleared by the 2025 pass, these components are subject to ongoing wear on high-mileage vehicles. Check for any steering vibration or uneven tyre wear during a test drive. Additionally, the 2023 failure due to multiple tyres reaching the legal limit indicates a history of deferred consumable maintenance, so the current tread depth and age of all tyres should be verified.
