The MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR (1999-04) 5DR MPV 1.6 EQUIPPE AUTO4 is a compact five-door people carrier, roomier and taller than a small hatchback but easier to manage than a full-size MPV. In the UK used-car market, it is an affordable, practical choice for everyday driving. The 1.6-litre engine and four-speed automatic suit drivers who value relaxed motoring over sporty performance. A roomy cabin and rear doors make the Space Star useful for couples, small families and commuters wanting easy access and a higher seating position. Unlike a supermini, it puts practicality first without the bulk of a larger people carrier. mycarcheck.com recorded 145 look-ups across 77 distinct VINs. Checked cars averaged £1,000 in private-sale value, 84,000 miles and 4,000 miles annually, with about five previous keepers. These figures reflect vehicles checked, not the whole market, so review each car’s condition and history. It remains a distinctive, practical budget automatic option.
