The MITSUBISHI LANCER (2008-12) 5DR SPORTBACK 2.0 GSR RALLIART SST AUTO6 is a five-door performance hatchback, offering a practical boot and everyday shape with a sportier character than a family hatch. In the UK used-car market, it sits in a specialist niche between mainstream hatchbacks and pricier, sharper hot-hatch rivals. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 237 look-ups covering 60 different VINs, a snapshot of this relatively uncommon model. The average private-sale valuation is £3,600, with average recorded mileage of 93,000 miles and annual use around 5,000 miles. Checks show about five previous keepers on average, so review each car’s history carefully. It suits drivers wanting a quick-feeling daily car with room for passengers, rather than a first-time-buyer bargain or economy-focused commuter. The Ralliart’s styling and automatic transmission set it apart from standard Lancers; compared with hot hatches, it offers a rarer, more rally-inspired alternative. Check servicing, condition and running costs before buying.
