Should you buy a used Mitsubishi Colt Attivo?

The Mitsubishi Colt Attivo has an overall MOT pass rate of 80.9% across 508 real MOT tests — comfortably above the UK average, which puts it among the more reliable models on UK roads.

A typical Mitsubishi Colt Attivo owner drives around 3,983 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
