Mitsubishi Mirage Design CVT (2020)
2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Design CVT
CarHunch analysed 159 real MOT records for the 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Design CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Design CVT is a reliably robust first-time MOT performer, passing at 90.5%—a solid 10.5 percentage points ahead of the UK average—though 15.7% of vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is worth factoring into your inspection checklist. The median mileage of just 14,406 miles for these four-year-old cars suggests they're relatively lightly used, and with only 0.43 failures per vehicle on average, mechanical durability isn't a major concern.
The average of 1.9 advisories per test indicates minor wear items crop up regularly, which is normal for this age and mileage band. If you're considering one, prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on CVT gearbox condition and brake components, since these account for a meaningful share of the advisory flags in this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Design 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.
