2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · BT64 SZG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in January 2026 with 91,196 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a mechanical failure in early 2025. While the car previously struggled with braking issues, the clean sheet on the last two consecutive tests indicates that the owner has addressed the identified faults and maintained a stable standard of operation since. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 5,200 miles covered between December 2022 and January 2025, and another 4,200 miles in the year leading to the 2026 test. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the rubber components and braking system to prevent seizing or dry-related corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system due to the documented history of wear and mechanical sticking. The December 2022 advisory for thin rear pads followed by the January 2025 failure for a dangerously worn nearside front pad and a binding caliper suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. It is essential to verify that the nears front caliper now operates freely and that the binding issue has been fully rectified and does not recur or cause uneven disc wear. Given the age and mileage of the Outlander, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and structural integrity for corrosion is also warranted, although these were not specifically flagged in the recent records.
