- ✓Manual cars are mechanically simpler; SST cars need proper Mitsubishi SST fluid history and should feel smooth, not jerky or reluctant.
- ✓Inspect the AYC pump area and rear underbody for corrosion because UK road salt is especially hard on these cars.
- ✓Be very cautious of hard-used or badly modified examples; track abuse shows up quickly in tyres, brakes, drivetrain fluids and accident repairs.
