The numbers

What this means if you are buying one

A 90.9% first-time pass rate means roughly 9 in every 100 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Exceed 4x4 Cvts presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Exceed 4x4 Cvt tested had covered 25,887 miles and was built around 2020.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Exceed 4x4 Cvt sits 14.2 points above the national average, ranked 565 of 2,005 models. On one bought as repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.
