2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.8L Petrol · RF10 HWM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in March 2025 at 124,602 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a trend of zero-fault results across the last five recorded inspections. This stability indicates a reliable maintenance regime where the previous owners have proactively addressed minor wear-related issues before they could escalate into test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-mileage usage for this age, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. There is a notable three-year gap between the July 2017 and January 2021 tests, during which the car covered 13,612 miles. Since 2021, the usage has become more regular, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between each of the annual tests. This steady accumulation of mileage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long stationary periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and brake fluid integrity. While the digital record is devoid of mechanical advisories, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for a 16-year-old Lancer. The buyer must examine the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for corrosion, as rust often remains undetected until it becomes a perforation. Given the age, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perished rubber, as these components are the first to degrade despite a clean MOT history.
