2006 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER2.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent recorded test in February 2018 at 78,082 miles passed despite the presence of an active engine management light and thin brake pads on all axles. Since there are no MOT records for the following eight years, the vehicle's current roadworthiness is unverified and the lack of recent data suggests the car has likely sat stationary for long periods, which often accelerates component degradation despite low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year since 2006. The data shows a significant gap in usage between March 2016 at 67,626 miles and February 2018 at 78,082 miles, covering ten thousand miles in two years. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it frequently leads to the perished rubber components and the seizing of brake calipers, consistent with the issues noted in the earlier history. A buyer must focus inspection on the suspension and braking systems due to recurring faults. The record highlights deteriorated trailing arm rubber bushes in 2017 and worn track rod end dust covers, which suggest the rubber is cracking from age and dryness. The 2016 test also flagged uneven tyre wear on the inner and outer edges, indicating alignment issues that were likely never properly addressed. Furthermore, the persistent engine management light noted in both 2017 and 2018 requires a diagnostic scan to ensure no sensor failure or emissions fault has remained unaddressed during the years of inactivity.
