The MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR (1999-04) 5DR MPV 1.9 DI-D S is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a taller, more flexible alternative to a conventional family hatchback. In the UK used-car market it sits among affordable small MPVs, built to make everyday trips and family duties practical without the bulk of a larger van-like people carrier. mycarcheck.com records 40 checks covering 25 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. Those cars average about £1,000 in private-sale value and 119,000 miles, with roughly 4,000 miles added annually. The average keeper count is just over two, suggesting many have had modest ownership changes. The diesel suits commuters and families needing passenger and shopping space, while its compact size helps around town. Compared with hatchbacks, it offers a more useful cabin; against Renault Scenic rivals, it is a simpler, less common choice. Check condition and history carefully at this age.
