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 7 MOT tests on record with a 57% pass rate and 43,234 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of neglect and recurring issues makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistent annual usage averaging 11,081 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2010 MOT gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring brake failures (Nov 2008, Dec 2009, Jan 2011) and advisories (Jan 2012) indicate chronic neglect.
  • Multiple windscreen failures (Dec 2009, Jan 2011) and advisories (Dec 2009) point to systemic issues.
  • Parking brake failures (Nov 2008, Dec 2009) and advisories (Jan 2012) show a pattern of neglect.
  • The 2010 MOT gap suggests a period of unrecorded use or potential SORN, raising questions.

Working in its favour

  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 11,081 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2025), suggesting good inherent safety.
  • The car has a long service history, with consistent intervals and no major engine failures.
