2011 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Diesel · CK11 WDZ

The most recent MOT (2022‑11‑10) passed with no defects recorded at 126,594 miles, indicating the vehicle met standards at that time. A week earlier the test failed, also without recorded defects at 126,550 miles, suggesting a possible minor procedural issue or an advisory not captured in the log. The alternating outcomes show no clear trend of deterioration; the mechanical condition appears stable as far as the MOT history indicates. The mileage of 126,594 miles over roughly 15 years yields an average of about 8,440 miles per year, which is typical for the model’s age. The jump from 117,268 miles in November 2021 to 126,594 miles in November 2022 represents a normal annual increase of roughly 9,300 miles. However, the MOT entries are from late 2022, making them nearly four years old relative to July 2026 and leaving a substantial data gap that warrants recent inspection. A buyer should inspect the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, given the close‑call failure despite no recorded defects. Suspension bushes and coil springs need careful examination for corrosion and wear, as high mileage stresses these components. Visual checks for rust perforation, exhaust bracket integrity, and structural panel condition are advisable, especially with a vehicle that has not been MOT tested for several years. A professional pre‑purchase inspection is essential to confirm that the car’s mechanical state aligns with the limited MOT record.
