2008 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Diesel · BK08 GXT

The Mitsubishi Outlander passed its most recent MOT on 18 April 2025 at 219,004 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the last three passed tests. The vehicle carries a clean advisory and failure-defect record on paper, showing no recurring mechanical or structural faults flagged by testers. At roughly 18 years old the Outlander shows 219,004 miles, equating to about 12,167 miles per year, which is high for its age and points to consistent long-distance use rather than periods of standing. The records jump from a 2022-10-18 pass at 200,500 miles to a 2023-12-15 fail at 216,145 miles, revealing around 15,600 miles added in fourteen months. Two consecutive fails in December 2023 and February 2024 at 216,145 and 216,609 miles carry no listed defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at test rather than worn components, and the car then passed clean in April 2024 at 217,312 miles. Given the sparse MOT data and absence of recorded advisories, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, and underbody corrosion given the mileage and age. The high annual use means consumables such as tyres, wiper blades and exhaust emissions hardware will have cycled often, so verify current tread depth and structural integrity in person. The clean test history offers reassurance on paper, but the 2023 to 2024 fails with no defects logged warrant confirmation the vehicle was properly presented and not masking hidden faults. Inspect for drivetrain wear and any undocumented rust before purchase.
