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

This 2005 Mitsubishi has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 13,462 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect in maintenance is a significant red flag.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 8,191 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or implausible spikes, but there are significant gaps in the MOT history.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake disc wear (May 2012, Apr 2013, May 2014) and handbrake issues (Feb 2012, Apr 2013, May 2014) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Four major failures for suspension (Apr 2013, May 2014, Oct 2014, Sep 2017) and 6 related advisories point to persistent structural wear.
  • The vehicle has been off the road (SORN) since 2018, with no MOT since 2018, raising serious questions about its current condition.
  • The 2005 Mitsubishi is not ULEZ-compliant, incurring a daily charge of £12.50 in London.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 8,191 miles/year, aligning with UK average, suggests regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering, which is a positive for this vehicle.
  • The car has a long service history with consistent mileage, indicating a single owner's diligent use.
