Got a specific Colt Mitsubishi 1200 Gl you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This 1984 Colt Mitsubishi 1200 GL falls outside the DVLA light-vehicle MOT database — likely because vehicles of this age are either no longer in regular use or have been registered under different categories — so traditional MOT pass rates and defect statistics aren't available for analysis. What we do know is that the 577 vehicles in this cohort show a median mileage of just 35,292 miles, suggesting these are typically low-use or preserved examples rather than daily drivers, which makes sense for a 40-year-old city car.
If you're considering one of these Colts, focus on mechanical inspection by a specialist rather than MOT data: check the bodywork for rust (the 1200 GL's main enemy), verify that the engine turns over smoothly, and examine the brake and fuel systems thoroughly, as parts availability and repair knowledge for 1980s Japanese microcars are limited. These were practical, lightweight runabouts when new, but at this age they're best regarded as hobby or restoration projects rather than everyday transport.
We have 577 1984 Colt Mitsubishi 1200 Gl vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
