2006 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER2.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness history based on the final recorded test, though the data is now critically outdated. The most recent MOT conducted in October 2012 at 77,580 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, resolving the mechanical issues noted in previous years. However, because no tests have been recorded for the last fourteen years, the current mechanical integrity of the vehicle cannot be verified through official documentation. The trend suggests a period of consistent maintenance before the record ceased providing updates. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,879 miles per year. Between February 2009 at 29,915 miles and October 2012 at 77,580 miles, the car covered 47,665 miles, indicating a period of higher use. The fourteen-year gap since the last recorded test suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods or was unregistered. Such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and fluid breakdown, regardless of the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and chassis, as the 2012 test flagged play in the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint and recurring tyre wear across multiple axles. Given the age and potential storage periods, check for significant structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which is common on Outlanders of this era. The brakes should be inspected for seized calipers or perished hoses, as these are frequent failure points on low-mileage vehicles that have sat without regular use.
