The MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR (1999-04) 5DR MPV 1.6 EQUIPPE E AUTO5 is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a taller, roomier alternative to a conventional small hatchback. In the UK used-car market it sits among practical, modestly sized family cars, with an automatic gearbox that can make town driving less demanding. mycarcheck.com has recorded 16 checks across 14 different VINs, a useful snapshot but a relatively small sample. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £800, average recorded mileage of 77,000 miles and annual mileage of 4,000; cars had an average of just over three previous keepers. That combination suits commuters, small households and first-time drivers seeking easy access and cabin space without a large car. Its footprint and automatic transmission appeal in traffic, while the MPV shape gives it a versatile feel compared with many small hatchbacks. Check condition and service history, as with any older used car.
