AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2006 Mitsubishi has 24 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 38,149 miles. While many issues were resolved, the sheer volume of past advisories and the age of the vehicle warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows exceptionally low annual usage, averaging only 4,868 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards, suggesting periods of prolonged inactivity.
Things to check
- Recurring major failures in brakes (Mar 2021) and suspension (Mar 2021) indicate systemic neglect.
- Engine oil leak advisories appear in 5 separate tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024), a chronic issue.
- Steering rack advisories are present in 5 separate tests (Mar 2020, Mar 2021, Mar 2022, Mar 2023, Mar 2024), a recurring problem.
- The DANGEROUS defect for a leaking fuel system (Mar 2020) is a serious safety concern, though resolved.
Working in its favour
- Euro NCAP (2025): 5-star safety rating.
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent low mileage (4,868 miles/year) suggests light use and potential for longevity.
- Most recent MOT (Mar 2026) passed with no failures, showing current roadworthiness.
