2011 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.8L Petrol · FV11 XLS

The 2026‑02‑02 MOT at 115,232 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle’s current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance record. The mileage trajectory shows a typical annual average of about 7,682 miles for a 15‑year‑old Lancer, yet the intervals between tests reveal uneven usage: a jump of roughly 6,100 miles from July 2023 (95,635 miles) to January 2025 (101,720 miles) and a further increase of about 13,500 miles to the February 2026 test, suggesting periods of heavy use followed by standing time. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, checking for worn bushes, coil spring fatigue and any binding in the rear brake calipers, as these components often exhibit early wear on high‑mileage examples; inspection of brake discs, tyre condition, structural rust, and exhaust integrity is also advisable. Overall, the documented history shows no recurring mechanical failures, but a thorough in‑person inspection of suspension, braking and corrosion points is essential before purchase.
