2004 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Petrol · EW04 MSY

The most recent MOT in March 2025 was a clean pass with no defects recorded at 94,293 miles. This follows a consistent pattern of successful tests dating back to 2017, where the vehicle has never failed an inspection or required any advisories or repairs to be noted on the certificate. The mechanical trend appears exceptionally stable based on the official records provided. There is no evidence of worsening condition or emerging faults over the last eight years of testing history. The car has maintained a flawless compliance record throughout the period for which data is available. With an age of roughly 22 years and just over 94,000 miles, the average annual usage is low at approximately 4,286 miles. This suggests the vehicle has seen light duty or significant periods of standing still rather than hard motorway use. While low mileage often preserves engine internals, it can also lead to issues from under-use such as perished rubber seals, stiff suspension bushes, or corrosion if the car was stored in damp conditions. The small mileage increase between September 2023 and March 2025 indicates the car was barely driven during that eighteen-month gap. Because the MOT history is entirely clean but the car has sat idle for long stretches, you must verify the physical condition matches the paperwork.
