MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER2015 · 2.3L Diesel

The Mitsubishi Outlander passed its most recent MOT on 9 April 2024 at 129,557 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the history shows a recurring pattern of same-day fail-and-pass pairs that warrant scrutiny rather than confidence. Mileage accumulation is atypical for an 11-year-old vehicle. The record shows 106,493 miles at the July 2019 test, then only 23,054 miles added across the next five years, with 129,547 miles logged on 10 February 2021 and 129,556 miles on 9 April 2024. This flatline suggests prolonged periods of minimal use or a stalled odometer between tests. Annual average sits near 11,778 miles, but the clustering of near-identical readings implies the car stood idle for extended stretches. The April 2024 failure at 129,556 miles and the February 2021 failure at 129,547 miles both recorded no defects, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing centre rather than mechanical faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across any entry. The clean pass sheet gives no warning of worn consumables or structural decline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underbody for corrosion and check the suspension and braking components, as an 11-year-old vehicle with intermittent use risks perished rubber bushes and seized calipers from standing. The identical-mileage failures mean the DVSA record alone cannot confirm consistent upkeep, so verifying service history against the odometer is prudent before purchase.
