2011 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X GSR FQ300 SA 2.0L Petrol · WK61 AAY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in July 2024 at 43,905 miles recorded no defects, indicating that the primary safety systems and emissions components currently meet the minimum legal standards. This consistency across the last six years suggests a vehicle that has not suffered from acute mechanical failures common in high-performance machinery of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old Lancer, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between June 2020 and January 2022 where the mileage remained static at zero miles, suggesting a period of long-term storage. Since 2022, the car has covered only 6,115 miles, maintaining a rate of roughly 3,000 miles annually thereafter. While this low usage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, the infrequent operation often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid chemistry. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer must check for perished rubber suspension bushes, cracked coolant hoses, and perished tyre sidewalls that show age cracking rather than wear. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary for long periods, potentially leading to seized calipers. Because this is a high-performance FQ300 variant, the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points requires close scrutiny to ensure no hidden stress has occurred despite the limited use.
