1995 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Petrol · M771 EAH

This Mitsubishi Lancer demonstrates a remarkably stable record of roadworthiness for a vehicle of its vintage, evidenced by a clean pass on 2026-03-25 with no defects or advisories recorded. Such a result indicates that the vehicle currently meets all DVSA safety and emissions requirements without the chronic issues or recurring failures typically associated with cars from the mid-nineties. The recorded mileage of 141,640 miles represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 4,569 miles over its thirty-one year lifespan. This low usage rate suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-intensity wear and tear typical of long-distance commuting, though it means the mechanical state is more dependent on the age of the components than on sheer mileage. Given the absence of recorded defects, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on the structural integrity of the chassis and subframes. In vehicles of this era, corrosion can develop in areas not always immediately visible during a standard test, so a thorough check of the underbody for structural rust is essential to ensure the long-term viability of the chassis. During the test drive, pay close attention to the precision of the steering and the stability of the ride. Listen for any knocks or clunks when traversing uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or ball joints, and feel for any judder through the brake pedal or pull in the steering to ensure the mechanical performance aligns with the clean MOT record.
