2010 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · DS60 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-05 at 187,126 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests from 2025-02-19 (160,103 miles) and 2024-01-30 (139,474 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on the same date (2024-01-30) at identical mileage without recorded defects raises questions about potential data inconsistencies or unresolved minor faults. Overall, the trend shows no worsening issues, but the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 187,126 miles over 16 years equates to roughly 11,695 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT tests are spaced approximately 12,000–13,000 miles apart, reflecting regular but non-urgent servicing. No significant gaps in testing are evident, and the absence of recurring defects in recent years suggests no systemic mechanical decline. However, the 2024 failure without recorded issues implies possible oversight or unresolved minor concerns. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear items in older SUVs, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system and emissions components should also be verified, as these are frequent MOT failure points. Structural integrity, particularly around the chassis and body panels, merits attention given the vehicle’s age, though no corrosion or damage was noted in the recorded tests. The lack of advisories in recent MOTs is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection of high-mileage components.
