1999 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Petrol · A9 GTB

The Mitsubishi Lancer presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 36,284 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean result from 13 June 2022 at 36,211 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 36,284 miles against a 2001 build date, equating to roughly 1,451 miles per year. The gap between the two tests spans over three years, yet the odometer moved only 73 miles in that period. Such low accumulation implies long-term storage or minimal use, though the sparse record leaves the intervening condition unverified by MOT data. A buyer should physically inspect for corrosion on structural members and suspension mounting points, as a quarter-century-old vehicle with long standing periods risks hidden rust not captured in a pass result. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for degradation from inactivity, since binding calipers and flat-spotted tyres commonly develop on cars left unused. The clean advisories list offers no recurring mechanical flags to track. Given the age and low mileage, a pre-purchase inspection should prioritise underbody structural integrity and fluid condition over consumable wear.
