Mitsubishi Mirage PMS Schedule & Maintenance Cost (Philippines, 2026)
What it costs to maintain a Mitsubishi Mirage (and Mirage G4) in the Philippines — the PMS schedule, casa cost per interval, common wear items, and why it's one of the cheapest cars to run.
The Mitsubishi Mirage (and its Mirage G4 sedan twin) is built around one promise: cheap to buy, cheap to run. Its tiny 1.2L three-cylinder sips fuel and oil, so the maintenance bills are among the lightest you’ll find. Here’s the PMS breakdown. This is the Mirage companion to our complete Car PMS guide.
Key Takeaways
- Runs the standard 5,000 km / 6-month PMS cycle.
- A regular Mirage PMS is about ₱5,000–7,000 (usually the low end); a major 40K–80K service is ₱10,000–15,000+. (Average casa prices, June 2026 — verify with your dealer.)
- Among the cheapest cars to maintain in PH — small engine, ~3.3L oil, cheap parts.
- Timing chain, not belt. No expensive belt change down the line.
- Watch the CVT fluid — change it ~every 40,000 km to protect the gearbox.
Mitsubishi Mirage PMS Cost by Interval
| PMS stage | Interval | Casa cost (Mirage) |
|---|---|---|
| First PMS | 1,000–5,000 km | ₱2,000–4,000 (usually free labor) |
| Standard PMS | 10,000–40,000 km | ₱5,000–7,000 |
| Major PMS | 40,000–80,000 km | ₱10,000–15,000+ |
The Mirage sits at the very bottom of the cost range — the three-cylinder needs little oil, so basic change-oil PMS is light. For an exact figure, check Mitsubishi’s PartsCare+ tool. For what’s actually done at each interval, see the main PMS guide.
Common Wear Items
- Brakes, wipers, battery — normal wear, cheap parts.
- CVT fluid — the one thing not to ignore; change ~every 40,000 km.
- Engine mounts — a three-cylinder vibrates more by nature; mounts can soften over time.
- Pang-ilalim — bushings and links wear on our roads. Listen for

Casa vs. Talyer & Parts
Under warranty, stick to the Mitsubishi casa; after, a trusted talyer is cheaper. Mirage parts are widely available at low prices, kaya hindi ka mahihirapan maghanap. Compare it with the Toyota Vios if you’re deciding between the two budget kings.
Verdict
If absolute lowest running cost is the goal, the Mirage is hard to beat — featherweight PMS bills, cheap parts, and a timing chain. Just respect the CVT-fluid habit and keep your records, and it’ll run cheap for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Magkano ang PMS ng Mitsubishi Mirage?
A standard Mirage PMS at the casa runs about ₱5,000–7,000, often at the very low end because the 1.2L three-cylinder only needs ~3.3L of oil. The first PMS is ₱2,000–4,000 (usually free labor), and a major 40K–80K service is ₱10,000–15,000+. Average casa prices, June 2026 — confirm with your Mitsubishi dealer.
Mura ba magpa-maintain ng Mirage?
Sobra — the Mirage is one of the cheapest cars to maintain in the Philippines. Maliit ang makina, kakaunti ang oil, mura ang parts, and it uses a timing chain (no belt to replace). Its low running cost is the whole point of the car.
Kailan dapat palitan ang CVT fluid ng Mirage?
Around every 40,000 km is a safe habit for the CVT, kahit 'inspect' lang ang sabi ng manual. The CVT is the priciest part to fix, so clean fluid is cheap insurance.
Gaano kadalas ang PMS ng Mirage?
Every 5,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. Kahit pang-city lang ang gamit mo, time-based pa rin — and PH traffic counts as severe use.
