PART I

Item 1.  Business

Not Applicable


Item 2.  Properties

         MMCA Auto Owner Trust 2002-1 (the "Trust") was formed on January 2,
2002 pursuant to a Trust Agreement between MMCA Auto Receivables Trust, as
depositor (the "Depositor"), and Wilmington Trust Company, as owner trustee
(the "Owner Trustee"). Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement,
dated as of March 1, 2002, between the Depositor and the Owner Trustee, the
Trust issued a certificate evidencing an interest in the trust property (the
"Certificate"). The Certificate is held by the Depositor.

         Pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of March 1, 2002, between the
Trust, as issuer, and Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi Trust Company, as indenture
trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), the Trust issued asset-backed notes
consisting of $151,000,000 2.00875% Class A-1 Asset Backed Notes, $384,000,000
3.03% Class A-2 Asset Backed Notes, $369,000,000 4.15% Class A-3 Asset Backed
Notes, $522,800,000 Floating Rate Class A-4 Asset Backed Notes, $144,500,000
5.37% Class B Asset Backed Notes and $65,600,000 6.20% Class C Asset Backed
Notes (collectively, the "Notes"). The Notes were registered and publicly
offered and sold.

         The assets of the Trust primarily include a pool of motor vehicle
retail installment sale contracts originated by retailers and assigned to
Mitsubishi Motors Credit of America, Inc. ("MMCA") and secured by new and used
motor vehicles and sport-utility vehicles. The Trust's business activities
include acquiring and holding the assets of the Trust and distributing
payments on the Notes and the Certificate.

         Pursuant to a Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1,
2002, among the Trust, the Depositor and MMCA, MMCA administers and services
the Trust's pool of motor vehicle retail installment contacts.

         The following tables set forth the delinquency experience with
respect to the level payments due each month on the Trust's motor vehicle
retail installment sale contacts but does not include the delinquency
experience with respect to balloon payments due at the end of the term of the
Trust's contacts which provide for such payments. The period of delinquency is
based on the number of days for which more than 10% of a level payment is
contractually past due, and the delinquency rate as a percentage of the
balance outstanding represents delinquent dollars as a percentage of dollars
outstanding.
