The MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR (1999-04) 5DR MPV 1.6 MIRAGE is a compact five-door people carrier, positioned between a small hatchback and a family MPV in the UK used-car market. Its upright shape favours cabin space and easy access, making it a practical alternative to a conventional hatchback. mycarcheck.com recorded 12 checks covering 10 distinct VINs, a modest sample rather than a broad picture of all surviving cars. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £700, average recorded mileage of 83,000 miles and annual mileage of 3,000. The cars averaged 2.25 previous keepers, so condition and history deserve close attention. It suits budget-conscious buyers needing a runabout for local trips, commuting or family duties. Its 1.6-litre engine feels more flexible than a tiny city car, while compact dimensions and raised seating ease driving. Less common than a Renault Scenic, its space-efficient layout stands out. Check condition and history carefully.
