MITSUBISHI LANCER2011 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 12 July 2025 at 195,247 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring failures. The mileage is high for a 2011 model, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. Usage has increased significantly in the last two years. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the car covered only 2,135 miles. However, between July 2024 and July 2025, the mileage jumped by 6,732 miles. This shift indicates a transition from light use to more frequent, higher-intensity driving. Despite the clean MOT records, the high cumulative mileage of 195,247 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-and-tear components. The absence of advisories for brake discs or suspension bushes is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should verify the condition of the coil springs and check for any signs of structural corrosion on the chassis or sills, as these often develop regardless of MOT outcomes. Focus should also be placed on the drivetrain and engine health. High-mileage vehicles often hide wear in the clutch or timing belt intervals that an MOT test does not evaluate. Check for oil leaks and ensure the exhaust system remains secure and free from leaks, as these are common failure points for older Lancers that may not have been flagged in the most recent tests.
