The MITSUBISHI MIRAGE (2013-16) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.2 SS 79 EU6 ATTIVO is a small five-door city hatchback, designed for easy everyday motoring rather than long-distance luxury. With compact dimensions and a simple, practical layout, it suits crowded streets and tight parking spaces, while offering useful room for passengers and shopping. In mycarcheck.com checks, this model has attracted 194 look-ups covering 59 distinct VINs, giving a snapshot of cars shoppers have researched. The observed examples averaged 51,000 miles, around 7,000 miles a year, and about 1.8 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £4,300. These are figures, not a guarantee of an individual car’s condition or price. The 1.2-litre petrol engine makes the Attivo suited to urban trips, commuting and first-time drivers seeking an approachable used car. Against rivals such as the Nissan Micra and Kia Picanto, the Mirage is valued for economical, easy-going motoring, not sporty performance or abundant space.
