AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2004 Mitsubishi has 20 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 34,716 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of issues suggests significant underlying wear and potential neglect.

The vehicle shows consistent annual mileage, averaging 10,195 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, but a significant 6,770-mile reduction in 2020 is a minor concern.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures in steering and brakes across multiple MOT tests (e.g., Feb 2020, Feb 2021).
  • Persistent advisories for worn tyres (Feb 2022) and windscreen damage (Jan 2020) indicate ongoing wear.
  • The vehicle is 22 years old with a history of recurring major failures, suggesting significant accumulated wear.
  • The car is currently untaxed and has no valid MOT, requiring immediate re-registration and a new MOT test.

Working in its favour

  • Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 10,195 miles/year, showing no signs of odometer fraud.
  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has been addressing issues as they arise.
  • The vehicle has a long service history, with consistent maintenance intervals for its age.
