The Appeal

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X marked the final chapter of one of the most celebrated performance car lineages in motoring history. With its 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four and five-speed manual gearbox, the Evo X delivered a raw, engaging driving experience that cemented its status among enthusiasts.

This 2008 example has been in the hands of one owner since new, having been purchased and used in the UAE before being imported and registered on UK plates. Having spent its life in a warm, dry climate, it has been well preserved. The vendor describes it as being in very good condition throughout and a great example of an iconic Evo. Modified with high-quality parts, it comes accompanied by a service history paper trail. With 59,452 km on the clock and an advisory-free MOT through to September 2026, this single-owner Evo X is well worth a closer look.

The vendor says:
"Although the car has been started regularly, it has done next to no miles since 2017, and thus, there may be some minor work to do. Known issues from driving it today: the windscreen washers have stopped working, I would say it needs a full service, the passenger door internal handle does not open the door, and it has to be opened from the outside, the fuel filler flap release seems seized and has to be manually released."
