The MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR (1999-04) 5DR MPV 1.3I CLASSIC is a compact, five-door people carrier, sitting between a small hatchback and a family MPV in the UK used-car market. Its upright shape makes passenger access straightforward, while the 1.3-litre petrol engine suits drivers seeking uncomplicated transport rather than sporty performance. Mycarcheck.com has recorded three checks across three different VINs, so these figures are a small snapshot, not a market-wide guide. Those cars averaged 74,000 miles and about 3,000 miles a year, with 1.7 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £500. Condition, history and upkeep matter greatly at this age, too. The Space Star suits commuters, small households and budget-conscious buyers valuing a tall cabin and five-door practicality. Compared with city-car hatchbacks, it feels more like a people carrier; against rivals such as the Honda Jazz, its appeal is simple, older-school character. Check rust, service records and condition carefully before buying.
