2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Electric · WR64 AEG

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander presents a generally roadworthy condition, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-15 at 89,776 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the vehicle’s maintenance history reveals instability, as it failed two consecutive tests in 2024-07-22 (88,314 miles) and 2023-07-13 (65,890 miles), both without recorded defects. These failures suggest potential issues with minor components or procedural oversights, though the absence of specific findings limits definitive conclusions. The recent pass indicates resolution of prior concerns, but the pattern of repeated failures warrants scrutiny of underlying maintenance practices. Mileage progression shows a sharp increase of 22,431 miles between the 2023-07-25 test (65,891 miles) and the 2024-07-24 test (88,321 miles), reflecting a 22,431-mile jump in 12 months. This rapid accumulation exceeds the vehicle’s average annual mileage of 7,481 miles, potentially accelerating wear on consumables and mechanical systems. The sparse defect data in the MOT records, combined with this mileage spike, implies either inconsistent servicing or periods of heavy usage, which could mask latent issues in suspension, brakes, or drivetrain components. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear points in older SUVs, and check brake discs for uneven wear or corrosion. The absence of structural rust or major mechanical failures in the latest test is reassuring, but the prior failures suggest a need to verify that all outstanding issues were properly addressed. Pay close attention to the exhaust system and emissions compliance, as these are frequent areas of concern in vehicles of this age. The vehicle’s roadworthiness hinges on the thoroughness of its recent servicing and the resolution of earlier unresolved faults.
