Mitsubishi Mirage Design (2020)
2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Design
CarHunch analysed 110 real MOT records for the 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Design. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Design is a strong performer against the odds, with a 90.8% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average by nearly 11 percentage points. Only 7.3% have ever suffered a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low and suggests buyers needn't lose sleep over safety-critical failures.
These cars are running relatively light mileage for their age—averaging 22,626 miles—which explains why they're passing tests so readily. The average car picks up just 0.36 failures per test and 2.2 minor advisories, pointing to a fundamentally sound design that doesn't throw expensive surprises at owners; if you're considering one, get a pre-purchase inspection to spot any overlooked wear items, but overall this generation is dependable.
What to check before buying a 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Design
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.
