2009 Mitsubishi Colt 1.3L Petrol · YF09 NRL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent history of passing annual inspections. The most recent test conducted on 8 May 2025 at 109,604 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just two days prior. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in rectifying issues immediately to ensure compliance, and the lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes indicates the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. The mileage progression is consistent with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,447 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 103,942 miles and May 2025 at 109,604 miles, the car covered 5,662 miles. This steady rate of use suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme strain, nor has it sat long enough to cause significant degradation of components. The short intervals between the failures and passes in the recent years indicate a reactive maintenance approach rather than chronic mechanical neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are common points of failure for this era of Mitsubishi. While the MOT record is clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a check for hidden corrosion in the sills and wing arches that may not surface until critical. Given the low annual mileage, the condition of rubber bushings and the state of brake discs should be verified, as these parts can perish over time regardless of the distance driven.
