Mitsubishi Lancer Gs2 Di D (2010)
2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Gs2 Di D
CarHunch analysed 135 real MOT records for the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Gs2 Di D. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2010 Lancer diesel is a below-average performer at MOT, passing first time in just 70.1% of tests versus the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests you're more likely to face a failed test and repair bill than with a typical car of this age. The good news is that no vehicles in this cohort have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety failures aren't a systemic concern.
With a median mileage of 107,131 miles for a 14-year-old car, these Lancers are running close to expectations, and the 1.17 average failures per vehicle tells you to budget for modest but real repair costs at each MOT. If you're considering buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically checks the common failure items—suspension, exhaust, and brake components are likely culprits—because the pass rate gap suggests this model has weaknesses worth understanding before you commit.
What to check before buying a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Gs2 Di D
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
