The MITSUBISHI CARISMA (2000-04) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.8 GDI MIRAGE is a five-door family hatchback from Mitsubishi’s mid-sized range. It sits between small city cars and larger saloons, offering useful cabin and boot space without the bulk of an SUV. Its understated shape suits buyers seeking everyday practicality over style alone. Mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks across five distinct cars, so this is a small sample rather than a market-wide picture. Within it, average private-sale valuation is £400, recorded mileage averages 88,000 miles, and annual mileage 4,000. The cars have had an average of 3.4 previous keepers, a useful ownership-history prompt. The 1.8 GDI Mirage suits commuters, couples or small families seeking an affordable car with easy access and shopping space. Its petrol hatchback layout is a practical alternative to the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra. Check history, condition and running costs carefully: at this age, upkeep matters more than reputation.
