2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Dynamic 4x2 CVT
CarHunch analysed 140 real MOT records for the 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Dynamic 4x2 CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Dynamic 4x2 CVT passes its MOT first time 88.9% of the time, comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%, which suggests above-average reliability for a four-year-old vehicle. Dangerous defects are relatively uncommon at 12.9%, keeping this well below the threshold where serious safety concerns would emerge.
At just under 30,000 miles median mileage, these cars are running light for their age, which partly explains the strong pass rate. The low average failure count of 0.37 per vehicle is the real story here—what you're seeing is a fundamentally sound design that rarely needs major work, though the 3.3 advisories per car suggest you should budget for routine maintenance items before your next MOT.
What to check before buying a 2020 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Dynamic 4x2 CVT
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
