The MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR (1999-04) 5DR MPV 1.6 EQUIPPE E is a compact, five-door people carrier: taller and roomier in feel than a conventional small hatchback, but easier to park than a full-size family MPV. In the UK used-car market, it is an older, practical alternative to mainstream small cars. mycarcheck.com records 146 look-ups across 70 VINs, a sample for this uncommon model. Checks show an average private-sale value of £800 and average latest recorded mileage of 92,000 miles; annual use averages 4,000 miles. The checked cars had around 3.6 previous keepers, so inspect service history and condition carefully. The 1.6-litre petrol engine suits errands, commuting and small-family duties, while raised seating and a roomy cabin help everyday access. It suits buyers wanting affordable, straightforward transport rather than modern tech or sporty pace. Against small hatchbacks, its MPV shape and flexible space are the main attractions for family and daily use.
