Mitsubishi Mirage Rear Bumper: Fitment, Sensors & Common Damage
On the Mirage, worth knowing as context: reversing sensors on related Mitsubishi models have genuinely failed to switch off with a trailer connected due to a mismatched towbar kit.

Mitsubishi Mirage Rear Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel
It's rarely a plain plastic panel on the Mitsubishi Mirage: the rear bumper usually integrates parking sensors and a reversing camera housing, sometimes exhaust trim too, so a seemingly minor kerb scrape can end up needing more than a simple like-for-like swap.
Mitsubishi Mirage Rear Bumper: What It Does
Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the Mirage often houses parking sensors, a reversing camera, and sometimes integrated exhaust finishers. A bumper that looks compatible can still be missing the correct cutouts or wiring provisions for your specific trim's equipment.

The sequence is much the same on this generation: wheel-arch liner screws, the fixings along the boot aperture and under the lower edge, then unclip each corner from the wing and unplug any sensor loom before the cover comes away.

A Genuinely Useful Piece of Context Worth Knowing About Mitsubishi's Sensor Systems — Mitsubishi Mirage Rear Bumper
If you're considering a towbar for this car, this is genuinely worth knowing: documented cases on related Mitsubishi models describe reversing sensors that couldn't automatically switch off when a trailer was connected, eventually traced to the towbar wiring kit being the wrong variant for that car's specific rear sensor configuration. It's genuinely worth confirming with whoever fits your towbar that the kit used matches your car's actual equipment, not just its general model and year.
It's also worth knowing that Japanese import models specifically may lack a pre-installed towbar harness connector, requiring wiring to be spliced in directly rather than simply plugged into an existing factory connector.
