2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.8L Petrol · DV10 NRL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record over the last four years. The most recent test in July 2025 at 92,317 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day that curiously listed no defects. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a high standard of compliance without recurring mechanical or structural failures in subsequent inspections. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,770 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 63,552 miles and July 2025 at 92,317 miles, the car covered roughly 29,000 miles over three years. This indicates a low-use history, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes or the seizing of brake calipers due to corrosion during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and floor pans, as older Mitsubishi Lancers are prone to surface and structural rust that may not manifest until it becomes significant. Given the low mileage, check the tyres for cracking in the sidewalls which indicates age-related decay rather than tread depth. Additionally, inspecting the brake discs for pitting or corrosion is essential, as low-use vehicles often suffer from oxidation on the braking surfaces.
