2001 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Petrol · Y927 DHN

The most recent MOT on 20 October 2023 at 44,713 miles passed with no recorded defects, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has remained stable across the two tests. Mileage of 44,713 miles over a 25‑year lifespan averages roughly 1,800 miles per year, a figure well below typical annual usage for a car of this age. The interval between the February 2023 test at 42,794 miles and the October 2023 test shows an increase of 1,919 miles in eight months, a steady accumulation that does not suggest any recent surge in mileage or periods of intensive use. No gaps in the record indicate that the vehicle has been regularly serviced and presented for MOT. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to age‑related components that are not reflected in the MOT data. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or excessive play, as long‑standing wear can develop silently. Examine brake discs and pads for surface rust or uneven wear, and verify that the calipers operate without binding. Check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as low mileage does not guarantee tyre health. A visual survey for corrosion on the chassis, wheel arches, and under‑body, together with a functional test of the exhaust emissions system, will confirm that structural integrity and emissions compliance remain sound.
