Will mortgage lender ask me about old loans

In January I payed off a £10000 loan. Over 12 months. I payed everything on time and never missed a payment.
If I was to apply for a mortgage now. Will the mortgage lender ask me about the loan?

    Highly unlikely - Debt repaid with no issues is of no concern to a Mortgage lender. I suppose potentially perpetual borrowers may raise some eyebrows but I've never seen it happen.

    Good luck with the app :)

    What is your payment record like before the twelve months you mention?

    Did you have a record of late/missed payments before then?

    Your credit history will show lenders your payment record for six years and the last twelve months is not looked at in isolation.
