2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · WW13 AAA

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of minor-related failures. The most recent MOT conducted on 18 July 2025 at 69,887 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows a pattern of failing immediately prior to a pass, the subsequent clean sheets suggest the vehicle is currently being maintained to a passing standard. The mileage profile remains consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, approximately 7,765 miles per annum. Between the August 2023 test at 57,897 miles and the August 2024 test at 65,421 miles, the car covered 7,524 miles. The subsequent interval saw 4,466 miles covered before the July 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests a regular pattern of use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for the health of rubber seals, suspension, and brake-related components. The recurring failures in 2023 and 2024 occurred just two miles before the scheduled tests, suggesting that minor items were rectified specifically to secure the certificate. Because the record does not detail the specific mechanical reasons for these failures, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust system to ensure no deep corrosion persists. Given the age of the vehicle, attention should be paid to structural integrity on the chassis and rear control arms, as these are common points of wear on the Outlander as they approach their second decade of service.
