Buying a used Mitsubishi Eclipse for London: what the MOT data shows
The Mitsubishi Eclipses in this data were first registered between 2017 and 2021. 2018 was the most common year, with 5,527 tests (50% of the total), and half were registered in 2018 or later.
Every Eclipse in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2021) passed first time 81% of the time at 21,441 miles on average, and the oldest (2017) passed 84% at 40,690 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the Eclipse's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (4.1% of tests); brakes: "less than 1.5 mm thick" (2.3%); tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (1.2%). The most frequent advisory was "has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure", on 13.5% of tests.
Overall, 88% of Eclipses passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 32,384 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
