THE CAR - This is a 2009 (59) plate example and No 4 of only 35 FQ400 X's made and in the highly desirable lightening blue. I have owned the car for 7 years which has been well and truly cherished with no expense spared, garaged full time and SORNED between late October and April each year. I have some £13,000 of receipts for parts, refurbing and servicing from over the 7 years. The car had 19.5k miles when I purchased it and it now sits on 25.1K. The car is currently SORNED, garaged under cover, and on a charger so the mileage won’t increase.
BACKGROUND - The car has 4 previous owners, and as far as I can tell from the historical paperwork. The car was originally purchased new in September 2009 and it was then sold to a dealer in Basingstoke in 2012 with 6.9k miles. It was then purchased by someone in Swindon, who only kept the car for a year and sold it to a couple in Bath in 2013 at 10k miles. They kept the car for a year but apparently, divorced and as part of the settlement the wife got the car, so it was transferred into her name. She then sold the car to a dealer in 2014 at 19.4k miles. The car then sat for sale indoors for 2 years which I then purchased in March 2016. So, it has spent at least the last 9 years not being driven over winters. As a result, it’s very clean underneath with only very minor surface rust in some areas. I have a further video of the underneath upon request.
PAPERWORK - I have a wedge of paperwork and receipts from the cars time with me and the other owners. Including a certificate from Mitsubishi confirming via the Vin number that it is an official FQ400 and also the paperwork showing that it had the clutch master cylinder recall work done in 2013.
The car has not been mapped and is mechanically standard with the original FQ400 exhaust. The AYC is original and works perfectly as does everything else on the car. The car comes with a working Cobra/Vodafone tracker and two fobs and two working keys.
Since purchasing the car I have added :
MOT expires October 2023
