2009 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.5L Petrol · HW59 ERO

The most recent MOT on 27 May 2025 recorded a pass at 85,918 miles, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory requirements at that time. With the previous year’s test also resulting in a pass, the maintenance trend appears stable; no recurring faults are evident in the recorded data. Across 17 years the odometer shows 85,918 miles, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year. The increase from 78,254 miles on 29 April 2024 to 85,918 miles on 27 May 2025 represents a gain of 7,664 miles in just over twelve months, a rate consistent with normal private‑use patterns. No abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps in mileage are apparent, suggesting the car has not been subjected to periods of intensive use or long-term storage. Although the MOT entries list no specific defects, a prudent buyer should still examine consumable and wear‑related components. Verify tyre tread depth and uniformity, inspect brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, and feel for any play in the front suspension bushes or coil springs. A visual check for corrosion on body panels, wheel arches, and under‑carriage will confirm the absence of structural rust that the MOT may not have flagged. Finally, confirm that the dual pass/fail entries on the same dates were resolved before the pass was issued, ensuring no latent issues remain.
