2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Diesel · MT60 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 119,843 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a clean pass in early 2025, suggesting that the owner has proactively addressed any necessary repairs to maintain a passing certificate. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old Lancer, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the vehicle covered roughly 8,000 miles, while the interval between December 2023 and January 2026 saw a further 11,449 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components despite the relatively high age. While the MOT history is remarkably clean of recurring failures or de-escalating rust-related advisories, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. Given the age of the vehicle, corrosion on the sills and rear subframe remains a common area of concern that does not always trigger an immediate MOT failure. One should also check for wear on suspension bushes and shock absorbers, as the MOT record does not detail the condition of these non-failing items until they reach a safety threshold.
