The MITSUBISHI COLT (2004-09) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.3 EQUIPPE is a compact, three-door supermini aimed at everyday driving. Its upright shape gives it a roomier feel than its small footprint suggests, while the 1.3-litre petrol engine suits town streets and ordinary journeys. In the UK market, it sits alongside used Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and Toyota Yaris models. mycarcheck.com recorded 42 checks covering 34 different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a complete picture of every Colt. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £600 and average recorded mileage of 87,000 miles. Average annual mileage was 5,000, while cars had around 4.6 previous keepers on average. It is best suited to singles, couples or first-time drivers wanting an affordable, easy-to-park runabout, rather than a spacious family car. The three-door layout keeps access less convenient, but the Colt’s flexible cabin and straightforward design make it a practical alternative to supermini rivals.
