Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 5 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 5 people together: the advert records 5 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 25 years old and 1 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
A 2001 Mitsubishi Lancer petrol manual is the basic compact saloon — typically fitted with 1.3–1.8 petrol engines and a simple five-speed manual. It’s mechanical and easy to work on compared with modern cars, but it’s 25 years old so expect limited safety kit and ageing rubber/hoses; check the timing-belt service history (many of these use a belt) and clutch condition. Genuine Evo models are a different, performance-focused car — this standard Lancer is economy/utility focused.
- Timing belt (and waterpump) replacement history — overdue belts are a common and expensive failure on older Mitsubishis.
- Clutch wear and gearbox synchros— test for slipping and crunchy/dirty gear selection, especially 1st/2nd.
- Rust around sills, rear arches, wheelarches and boot floor (very relevant for 25‑year‑old cars in Ireland).
- Suspension and steering: worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers and steering-rack play on rough roads.
- Cooling system and hoses for leaks, and signs of past overheating (discoloured coolant, warped filler cap, radiator corrosion).
