2009 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0L Diesel · WN59 VRL

The most recent MOT test on May 22nd, 2026, passed, but it noted issues with the vehicle underside corrosion and the condition of the tyres. The previous MOT test on May 21st, 2026, resulted in a failure due to significant issues with the nearside front suspension components, specifically the track rod end ball joint and suspension arm pins or bushes. This failure was accompanied by the same tyre condition noted in the most recent test. The trend in the MOT history shows a pattern of mechanical issues being flagged, with the most recent test confirming corrosion and tyre wear, following a failure related to suspension wear. This suggests a maintenance issue that has not been fully resolved, indicating a worsening condition regarding suspension and bodywork integrity. The mileage of 154,857 miles for a vehicle of this age is consistent with typical annual usage, suggesting a reasonable level of wear on consumables and drivetrain components. A buyer should immediately inspect the underside of the vehicle for the noted corrosion. They must also thoroughly check the nearside front suspension components, including the track rod end and suspension arm pins or bushes, to assess the severity of the wear noted in the previous failure. Finally, inspect the condition of all tyres, especially the nearside front tyre, as it was noted as slightly damaged.
