2021 Mitsubishi Mirage crash-test ratings
Its side pole result sits well below every other score on the sheet, and the barrier side test rated the driver's seat higher than the rear passenger's.
NHTSA rates the 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage 4 out of 5 stars overall — 4 for frontal crash, 4 for side crash, 4 for rollover.
The pole test, which mimics sliding sideways into a tree or utility pole, is the clear weak point in this hatchback's record. Any sign that a used example has taken a hit in the side deserves a close look before you agree a price.
Recalls, complaints and investigations
NHTSA keeps these alongside the crash-test results for the 2021 Mitsubishi MIRAGE 5 HB FWD. They answer a different question: not how the vehicle was built to perform in a crash, but what owners and the agency have reported since.
A recall campaign covers a range of vehicles; whether the repair was done on a particular car is a per-VIN question. Check open recalls by VIN.
What NHTSA did — and did not — test
A star rating is only as complete as the tests behind it. This is which of NHTSA's four crash tests the 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage actually went through.

Inspecting a used 2021 Mirage
The ratings describe the Mirage as it left the factory. A car that has been in a serious crash, rebuilt, or had its airbags replaced is no longer the car NHTSA tested.
Open the front doors and check the B-pillars, sills and door shells for filler, ripples or fresh seam sealer, which is where side-impact repair would show.
Look along the headliner edge for sagging or mismatched trim and at the outer seat bolsters for re-stitched or newer covers, signs that side airbags may have deployed and been replaced.
Check whether lane departure warning was fitted, since it was an option on this car, and confirm the standard forward collision warning is switched on in the settings and the sensor glass at the top of the windshield is clean and uncracked.
How NHTSA's current ratings work
NHTSA announced new NCAP crash tests and rating criteria in July 2008, including a new overall rating that combines the frontal, side and rollover results. It then postponed the change by a year: the new criteria apply to vehicles tested beginning with model year 2011, not 2010 as first announced.
In NHTSA's own words, its rollover resistance ratings “estimate the risk of rollover if a vehicle is involved in a single-vehicle crash.”
One limit applies to every vehicle here. NHTSA notes that the frontal crash rating “depends on vehicle mass, and cannot be compared across vehicle weight classes” — a full-size truck's frontal stars and a compact car's are not the same measure.
