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.

Brand reliability
Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength
100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
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.
Quadrants
The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

What's good

  • Private-owner history with service documented — same Attrage formula.
  • Post-2020 build — sidesteps 2017-2019 recall cluster.

What to watch

  • An ex-private-hire Space Star — a hard previous life — dominant negative signal.
  • The Jatco CVT starting to shudder — JF015E pattern.

Common questions about the Mitsubishi Space

How much does a used Mitsubishi Space cost in Singapore?
Most used Mitsubishi Space on the market are around 9 years old, asking roughly S$19k–S$21k (typically about S$20k). 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.
Is the Mitsubishi Space reliable?
In our read, the Mitsubishi Space 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 Space 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 Space figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-Mitsubishi Space 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.
