The MITSUBISHI MIRAGE (2013-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 SS 79 EU5 2 is a compact five-door city car, made for easy everyday driving rather than maximum space or performance. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable small hatchbacks, offering a straightforward alternative to the Toyota Aygo, Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto. Mycarcheck.com recorded 495 look-ups covering 191 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of cars shoppers have checked. The average private-sale valuation was £3,700, with average recorded mileage of 62,000 miles and annual mileage of 6,000; cars had about 2.9 previous keepers on average in these checks overall. That pattern suits a modest-cost runabout for commuters, first-time drivers and couples needing simple parking and useful rear doors. The 1.2-litre Mirage is best approached as an economical, easy-going choice, not a fast or especially roomy family car. Its light, compact character is the key appeal against similarly sized city-car rivals.
