Mitsubishi Mirage buying guide (Ireland, 2026)

What a used Mitsubishi Mirage costs in Ireland, how it does at the NCT, what goes wrong and what it costs to fix. Based on 73 for sale right now.

Our take on the Mitsubishi Mirage

A 2022 Mitsubishi Mirage typically advertises at €14,450 and a 2017 one at €8,450, so it loses roughly 10% of its value a year at that age. Most for sale are petrols (97%). At the NCT, the 2012–2018 cars do better than other cars the same year. The 1.2 petrol is the most common engine (78% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 300k km.
