2003 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Petrol · CE52 VWJ

The vehicle presents as mechanically sound with no defects recorded in the most recent MOT test on 2026-03-29 at 89,927 miles. The consistent passing record across all tests indicates stable maintenance practices over the past seven years. No advisories or failing items were noted during the latest examination, suggesting reliable ongoing care. The absence of defects in 2023 and 2019 further supports a maintenance routine that addresses issues promptly. The mileage progression shows a notably low annual average of approximately 3,910 miles over 23 years, indicating minimal usage or extended periods of inactivity. The most significant increase occurred between 2017 and 2019, where the vehicle accumulated 4,430 miles over two years. This pattern suggests either intermittent use or storage periods followed by active driving. The gap between tests in 2023 and 2026 reflects a period of consistent ownership without major mechanical concerns. The MOT history lacks recurring faults or structural issues, which is typical for vehicles with such low mileage. However, buyers should inspect suspension components including coil springs and bushes for signs of deterioration or corrosion. Brake systems should be checked for wear, particularly given the vehicle's age and mileage. The exhaust system and body integrity should also be reviewed for any evidence of rust or damage that could develop under prolonged storage conditions. No specific mechanical failures or advisories have been recorded in the MOT history, indicating a well-maintained vehicle. The lack of defects in recent tests suggests that previous owners likely addressed minor issues before they became critical. Buyers should verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and other consumables independently, as these are not part of the MOT assessment. The vehicle’s low mileage does not necessarily indicate good condition but rather suggests limited use over time.
