While the MIRAGE GS is generally reliable, some owners have reported issues relating to component wear at higher mileage. Regular servicing and prompt attention to any unusual noises or performance changes can help prevent major problems.
When preparing your MIRAGE GS for a Warrant of Fitness (WoF) inspection, pay particular attention to the condition of the wiper blades, braking system components (pads, rotors, and wheel cylinders), steering system, and the overall integrity of the vehicle. Ensure all lights are functioning correctly and that the tire tread depth meets legal requirements.
Regular maintenance is essential to keeping your Mirage GS running smoothly. Focus areas include:
• Wiper Blades: Essential for visibility, replace your wiper blades when streaks appear or visibility decreases. Check out our Wipers section.
• CV Joint Boot: Inspect for cracks or damage. Addressing these issues early can save you from costly repairs.
• Braking System: Monitor brake pads and rotors for wear. Regular brake service is crucial for safe driving—consider our Front and Rear Brake Service packs to ensure your vehicle remains safe on the roads.
• Cooling System: As your vehicle approaches 150,000 km, make sure to inspect the water pump, thermostat, and radiator hoses. Prevent overheating by keeping these components in check. Find more in our Cooling section.
• Engine Care: Regular checks on valve stem seals can minimize oil consumption. Larger engine repairs may require a head set or gasket set, ensuring longevity for your powertrain. Explore our Engine Parts collection for quality components.
• Steering System: Regular checks of power steering fluid levels are a must to maintain responsiveness.
• Ignition System: Inspect ignition leads to ensure efficient spark delivery, enhancing performance and fuel economy.
