2010 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2L Diesel · VO10 ACF

The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-03-04 confirming a pass at 143,937 miles. However, the same date recorded a prior failure at 143,932 miles, suggesting a potential administrative or technical inconsistency. No defects were logged in either test, indicating the vehicle met baseline requirements. The 2024-02-14 pass at 137,533 miles and the 2023-02-01 pass at 129,867 miles further support a consistent maintenance pattern, though the repeated failures at identical mileages raise questions about the reliability of the MOT process or unrecorded issues. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 16-year lifespan, averaging approximately 8,996 miles annually. From 2023-02-01 to 2024-02-14, the odometer increased by 7,666 miles, and from 2024-02-14 to 2025-03-04, by 6,404 miles—both within expected ranges. The absence of significant gaps or spikes suggests regular usage, though the proximity of failed and passed tests at nearly identical mileages implies potential oversight in addressing recurring minor faults. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to the frequent MOT activity, even without recorded defects. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion may develop in older models. The lack of detailed defect reports in the MOT history necessitates a hands-on assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness beyond documented records.
