2007 Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6L Petrol · RJ57 WGV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, showing a maintenance trend that has stabilized following a mechanical failure in late 2022. After failing a test due to suspension wear and brake issues, the Lancer has passed three consecutive inspections without further major defects. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 94,265 miles noted only minor cosmetic deterioration to the headlamp lenses, which indicates that the previous owner has addressed the critical safety-related mechanical faults identified in the years prior. At 19 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,265 miles represents an average annual of approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage profile typically suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine compared to high-mileage examples. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles covered between annual tests from 2022 through 2025. However, low-mile vehicles of this age are susceptible to degradation of rubber components and brake seizing, which should be monitored despite the low odometer. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system, as the record flagged fluctuating front service brakes in October 2022 and thin rear pads during the same visit. While these were rectified, the fluctuating readings often indicate warped front discs or sticking calipers. Additionally, the previous failure of both anti-roll bar linkage pins in 2022 necessitates a physical check of the front suspension bushings and joints to ensure no new play has developed. Given the vehicle's age and the relatively low mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody is essential, as low mileage does not prevent rust from forming over two decades.
