Description
An absolute gem of a find. This 2005 Mitsubishi Colt has covered a genuine, fully verified 43,000 miles from new averaging just over 2,000 miles a year.
It features Mitsubishi's clever Semi-Automatic transmission, offering the absolute best of both worlds: the total ease of an automatic (no clutch pedal to worry about) combined with the excellent fuel economy of a manual car. It is the perfect, highly reliable runabout for new drivers, city commuters, or anyone looking for cheap, hassle-free motoring.
Japanese reliability at its finest, with a bulletproof engine that is incredibly cheap to run, tax, and insure.
Tremendous Rear Seating Flexibility (Mini-Van Mode!):
One of the best design features of this car is its incredible interior versatility. The rear seats offer total flexibility you can tumble them forward or completely remove both rear seats entirely from the car in seconds. This opens up a huge, flat loading bay with multiple configuration options, giving you the cargo space of a much larger estate or small van when you need it (please see the images to see it in action!).
Key Features & Recent Upgrades:
Ultra-Low Mileage: Just 43,000 genuine miles (fully backed up by VOSA MOT history).
Long MOT: Long, worry-free motoring with the MOT valid until 10th April 2027.
Semi-Automatic Economy: Drives clutch-free like a standard automatic, but uses an automated manual clutch system designed for maximum fuel efficiency and low running costs.
Air Conditioning: Working great, a rare luxury for small hatchbacks of this era.
Brand New Tyres: Features 3 brand new tyres just fitted.
Comes with 2 keys (1 full remote central locking fob key, plus 1 manual ignition/door spare key).
Exceptionally clean, pet-free, and smoke-free inside. The seats and controls show virtually zero wear, reflecting the tiny mileage.
Mechanically, this car is flawless and drives beautifully. It is tight, solid, and drives exactly as a 43k-mile car should. To be completely transparent, there are some age-related surface scrapes and scratches on the bodywork, which I have clearly highlighted in the photos. There is absolutely no structural damage whatsoever it is purely cosmetic surface marks, perfectly normal for a car of this age, and the price reflects this. If it were visually perfect, it would be a 2,500+ car with this mileage!
