2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Diesel · HD10 AEE

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 94,378 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the previous three years, suggesting the car is currently in a mechanically sound state. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,899 miles per year. The distance covered between the September 2023 test at 83,319 miles and the September 2025 test at 94,378 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,500 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest clocking or prolonged periods of stagnation. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded advisories for consumables or structural wear. While the record shows failures on 13 September 2023 and 12 September 2024, these were resolved on the same day with no specific defects listed in the final data. This lack of documented wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust components is atypical for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check for chassis corrosion and rust on the sills, as these often develop regardless of low mileage. Inspect the rubber seals and tyre date stamps to ensure they have not perished from age, and verify the service history to confirm that oil changes occurred even during periods of low usage.
