2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · AM61 DEL

This 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 62,196 miles, but arrived with a flagged tyre wear defect. The offside front tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear, a condition that has now recurred for two consecutive tests. The rear differential front mounting showing excessive wear in January 2025 is the more serious concern. This structural component deterioration suggests either impact damage, poor driving conditions, or cumulative stress from years of use. A mounting in this condition can affect handling stability and may worsen if left unaddressed. Critically, this defect has not been mentioned in the subsequent MOT, which could mean it was repaired, but you should verify this directly with receipts or a pre-purchase inspection. The tyre wear pattern is worth close attention. The same offside front tyre location has flagged as problematic in both the last two tests, spanning a year and 6,320 miles. Recurrent wear on one edge of a front tyre often points to misalignment, suspension wear, or both. If the alignment was not corrected after the 2025 test, the same wear mode will likely continue.
