The Mitsubishi Lancer EVO was a 4-wheel drive turbocharged 4-door saloon that gained iconic status during its time in production between 1992 and 2006. In its various series of EVO’s, it became a firm favourite with rally teams and joyriders alike. Consequently, it was soon the target of UK-based importers of Japanese cars. With the availability of Mitsubishi Lancer EVO’s through Mitsubishi’s main dealer network, importers of the ‘grey import’ alternative found a ready supply of used EVO’s suitable for the demanding UK market.
Insurance for an imported Mitsubishi Lancer EVO is far from straightforward, whatever the age, spec or modifications. Talking of modifications, the car has always leant itself to being tweaked, with considerable additional horsepower becoming available after having the ECU ‘chipped’. A bigger turbo and improved airflow could boost the standard engine’s power to highly entertaining levels – unless you’re the insurer being asked to provide cover for the imported version of the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO.
As with all modified cars, the additional power can cause issues for the standard EVO’s components, resulting in stress-related problems arising just about anywhere in the drivetrain.
How Expensive is insuring a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO?
Taking into account all of the above, it’s little wonder that many insurers run a mile when asked to offer an insurance quote for your Mitsubishi Lancer EVO. With any number of changes having been carried out by successive owners and with the current owner not necessarily being aware of any that have gone before, for insurers the EVO can be a bit of an unknown quantity. So you may need to do a little research before finding a cheap insurance quote for a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO.
