2016 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Petrol · EV04 EDD

This Mitsubishi Lancer presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 5 July 2025 at 39,599 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets DVSA standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,960 miles per year. Between 1 September 2021 at 36,562 miles and 5 July 2025 at 39,599 miles, the car covered only 3,037 miles over nearly four years. Such low usage often indicates a vehicle used for short trips or one that has spent significant time stationary. The MOT history is remarkably sparse regarding faults. The only failure occurred on 5 November 2022 at 37,317 miles due to insufficient windscreen washer liquid, a minor consumable issue resolved on the same day. There are no records of suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or structural rust, which are common concerns for vehicles of this vintage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade due to inactivity rather than wear. Check for perished rubber seals, tyre flat-spotting, and potential brake caliper seizing or binding caused by long periods of standing. While the paperwork is clean, the low mileage suggests these dormant-use risks are more likely than high-mileage mechanical fatigue.
