The MITSUBISHI LANCER (2008-12) 5DR SPORTBACK 1.8 GS2 AUTO6 is a five-door family hatchback, offering a practical alternative to a conventional saloon. In the UK, it sits among medium-sized cars such as the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra, but its sharper, more distinctive styling helps it stand apart. The automatic gearbox may appeal to drivers who want relaxed everyday motoring. mycarcheck.com has recorded 49 checks covering 26 different cars of this exact version, giving a useful snapshot, though not a huge sample. Those checks show an average private-sale value of £2,400 and average recorded mileage of 80,000 miles. Average annual use is 6,000 miles, while cars have had about four previous keepers on average. These figures are guides, not a guarantee of condition or value. It suits commuters, couples or small families wanting rear doors and hatchback practicality. The 1.8 petrol automatic prioritises convenience over economy, while its less-common styling offers a distinctive alternative to familiar rivals.
