2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5L Petrol · AF10 VMM

The Mitsubishi Lancer presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 December 2025 at 125,023 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 3 January 2025 at 117,419 miles. Four consecutive MOT passes with zero advisories or failures indicate the previous keeper addressed required work promptly and the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern. Recorded mileage sits at a typical 7,814 miles per year for a 2010 vehicle. The test on 16 November 2021 at 104,280 miles and the next on 22 November 2022 at 113,723 miles show roughly 9,400 miles covered in that year. A gap then appears before the January 2025 test at 117,419 miles, implying lower use of about 3,700 miles annually across that period. The sparse record carries no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or emissions issues across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's sixteen-year age and salt-exposure risk on UK roads. Although the MOT history notes no advisories, testers do not strip components; check coil springs, binding calipers, and exhaust condition visually. Verify service history to confirm consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were replaced outside the test regime. The clean advisory sheet suggests basic upkeep was not skipped, unlike vehicles failing repeatedly on tread or lamps. With no recurring faults in the data, the Lancer's mechanical risk centres on age-related wear rather than documented neglect.
