2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Diesel · MT60 ACJ

The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer remains roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-27 confirming no defects at 111,573 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability, as the vehicle has passed all tests since 2023, with the exception of a single fail in 2025-03-31 that recorded no specific defects. This suggests no critical mechanical or structural issues, though the unexplained fail warrants scrutiny. The car’s age and mileage align with typical usage, and the absence of recurring faults indicates consistent upkeep. The mileage progression reflects steady annual usage of approximately 6,973 miles, with MOT tests spaced consistently every 12–14 months. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, such as the 3,759-mile increase between 2024-04-05 (104,893 miles) and 2025-04-07 (108,652 miles). The 10-mile discrepancy between the 2025-03-31 fail (108,642 miles) and the subsequent pass (108,652 miles) raises questions about the test’s accuracy or minor technical adjustments, but no lasting issues are documented. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which can emerge with high mileage. The exhaust system and corrosion on body panels, especially around door sills and undercarriage, merit attention. While the MOT history lacks major concerns, physical examination of these areas is essential to confirm the absence of hidden wear or structural fatigue.
