2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER2.0L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the service history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 98,027 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just two days prior due to a dangerous structural bulge in the nearside front tyre. While the car currently meets legal standards, the recurring failures regarding consumable items suggest the owner often waits until an MOT test or a critical failure before addressing necessary repairs. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. There is a noticeable gap in records between July 2020 and June 2021, where the car covered only 5,800 miles, but since early 2022, the usage rate has increased significantly, covering over 50,000 miles in four years. This recent surge in mileage correlates with the accelerated wear seen on the braking system and tyres, as evidenced by the frequent failures for thin pads and tyres in the later test dates. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension, as the record shows a persistent trend of thinning pads. From 2023 through 2025, the tester repeatedly flagged front and rear brakes as wearing thin, culminating in a failure at 89,451 miles where pads were below the legal limit. This suggests the brake discs may be grooved or thinned from frequent pad replacements. Additionally, the frequent reports of tyres worn on the edge or with structural damage indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent further premature tyre wear.
