This 2012 Mitsubishi has 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 55,709 miles.
Mileage shows normal annual usage (6,632 mi/yr) until 2024, but a significant drop to 248 mi/yr equivalent before Feb 2024 and 227 mi/yr equivalent before Mar 2025 is highly suspicious.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on steering rack (Mar 2026) and ball joint (Mar 2026) indicate ongoing wear.
- Brake disc advisories (Mar 2026) and a major failure (Jan 2021) suggest a history of brake system neglect.
- Mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage (248 mi/yr equivalent) before Feb 2024 and (227 mi/yr equivalent) before Mar 2025.
- The 2020 MOT gap, where no test was recorded, is a significant unexplained period.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
- Valid MOT until March 2027 provides immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- Consistent annual mileage (6,632 mi/yr) before 2024 suggests regular use.
- No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded on the MOT history.
