The MITSUBISHI GRANDIS (2004-10) 5DR MPV 2.4 MIRAGE SE AUTO4 is a large, seven-seat family MPV, rather than an SUV or ordinary hatchback. In the UK used-car market it offers practical people-carrying space at budget-car prices, appealing to families needing flexible room without moving to a van-sized vehicle. Mycarcheck.com records 16 look-ups covering 11 different VINs, so the picture is useful but based on a modest sample. Those checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,000, average recorded mileage of 111,000 miles and average annual use of 5,000 miles. Vehicles had around 3.4 previous keepers on average, a helpful reminder to check each car’s history and condition. The 2.4-litre petrol engine and automatic make it easy-going for family trips, school runs and carrying passengers. Fuel costs may exceed smaller or diesel MPVs, but its roomy cabin makes it an alternative to Ford Galaxy and Vauxhall Zafira rivals. Check condition carefully.
