The MITSUBISHI SPACE STAR (1999-04) 5DR MPV 1.8 GDI EQUIPPE AUTO4 is a compact five-door people carrier, offering a practical alternative to a conventional family hatchback. In the UK, it competes with small MPVs like the Renault Scénic, favouring easy access and useful cabin space over fashionable SUV styling. This Equippe version pairs a 1.8-litre petrol engine with an automatic gearbox, making journeys straightforward for drivers who prefer not to change gears. Its compact footprint suits town errands and commuting, while five doors and a flexible MPV shape make it useful for couples, small families or anyone needing room for shopping and passengers. It is less bulky than larger people carriers, though older examples may feel less refined and economical than newer small cars. Mycarcheck.com has only three checks for this model, so figures are indicative: average mileage was 63,000, annual use 4,000 miles, private-sale value £600, and 2.3 previous keepers.
