2010 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Petrol · SP60 AEJ

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 9 May 2025 at 32,445 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2019, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 2,028 miles per year. The record shows a period of very limited use between 16 November 2019 and 29 March 2021, where the odometer moved only 100 miles from 26,108 to 26,208. Since then, usage has increased slightly, adding 6,237 miles over the last four years. Such low usage often suggests the car has spent significant time stationary. While the absence of MOT failures or advisories is positive, the low mileage and periods of inactivity introduce specific risks. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system to check for binding calipers or pitted brake discs caused by corrosion during standing. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be checked for perishing or cracking due to age rather than wear. The lack of recorded structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures is encouraging for a vehicle of this vintage. However, given the low annual mileage, the service history should be verified to ensure oil and filter changes occurred regardless of distance travelled. Checking for fluid leaks and ensuring the battery is healthy will confirm if the car has been stored correctly or neglected.
