Price range
P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment
MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability
High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Peer set
Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.

Verdict

Singapore's cheapest sedan, and the headline workhorse for budget PHV (Grab / Gojek / private-hire). 3-cyl 1.2L 3A92 is fine when properly serviced but fragile when thrashed; the Jatco JF015E CVT typically asks for replacement around 150k km. PHV exposure is the dominant negative signal — most second-hand Attrages have spent their life as ride-hail workhorses and the wear far outpaces the mileage. Recently-listed PHV cars at high mileage should be treated as commercial-grade buys, not private cars.

What's good

  • Private-history Attrage with documented oil + CVT-fluid services — when serviced on schedule the 3A92 is durable enough for its job; a non-PHV car with paperwork is a fine cheap runabout. Most of the headline risk on this gen is PHV usage, not the platform itself.
  • Post-2020 build (post the 2017-2019 recall cluster) — the 2017-2019 model years carry the densest fault complaints; 2020+ cars are mechanically the same but skip the worst-quality build window.

What to watch

  • PHV-history Attrage at high mileage — the dominant negative signal on this gen. CVT, suspension, interior + body all wear faster than the mileage suggests; treat as commercial-grade depreciation. Walk on most PHV cars unless the seller will price it as a workhorse.
  • Jerky / shuddering CVT engagement past 100k km with no fluid service — the JF015E pattern. Replacement is S$4-7k locally — that's a meaningful share of the car's residual value. Walk unless the asking already prices in the spend.

Common questions about the Mitsubishi Attrage

How much does a used Mitsubishi Attrage cost in Singapore?
Most used Mitsubishi Attrage on the market are around 8 years old, asking roughly S$29k–S$35k (typically about S$33k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
How much does a used Mitsubishi Attrage depreciate per year?
A used Mitsubishi Attrage loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 30% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
Is the Mitsubishi Attrage reliable?
In our read, the Mitsubishi Attrage scores 73 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
What should I expect to pay for a used Mitsubishi Attrage with a given mileage?
It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
Where do these Mitsubishi Attrage figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-Mitsubishi Attrage listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
