Best and Worst Mitsubishi Mirage Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 8 Mitsubishi Mirage model years from 2014 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 14 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2021 — 4 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2020 — 5 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2022 — 5 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA

Most owner complaints

  • 2014 — 44 complaints, 3 recall campaigns
  • 2015 — 39 complaints, 2 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA
  • 2017 — 28 complaints, 3 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
