Mitsubishi Mirage Verve (2020)
2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Verve
CarHunch analysed 134 real MOT records for the 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Verve. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Verve has a first-time pass rate of 88.4%, which is a solid 8.4 percentage points above the UK average of 80%—this is a genuinely reliable cohort. The dangerous defect rate of 14.2% is acceptably low and not a significant buyer concern.
These cars are running light mileage for their age (median 21,586 miles), which partly explains the strong pass rate, but the low failure count of 0.43 per vehicle suggests real durability rather than just gentle use. Budget for routine maintenance flagged in advisories (averaging 2.2 per car), and when you're buying one used, run a full MOT history check to confirm this pattern holds for your specific example.
What to check before buying a 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage Verve
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.
