2013 Mitsubishi Outlander GX 1 4WORK DI-D 175 2.3L Diesel · BX13 HWM

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-31 showed a pass at 70,243 miles, with no defects recorded. However, this follows a failed test on 2026-03-09 at 70,089 miles, which also had no defects. The pattern of alternating passes and failures persists, with passes in 2025-03-21 (67,436 miles) and 2024-03-25 (64,717 miles), and failures in 2025-03-10 (67,325 miles). This suggests inconsistency in the vehicle’s compliance, though no specific defects were highlighted in any report. The vehicle’s mileage of 70,243 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 5,403 miles annually, which is very low for its age. This could indicate infrequent use or long periods of inactivity, potentially leading to corrosion, fluid degradation, or component stiffness . However, the absence of wear-related defects in the MOT history does not confirm this risk. The low mileage may also mean that consumables like brake pads or tyres have not experienced typical wear, but this remains unverified. The recurring failed tests without recorded defects point to potential issues beyond standard wear, such as electrical faults, sensor malfunctions, or procedural errors during testing. The lack of detailed defect reports limits analysis, but the pattern implies a need for closer scrutiny of systems that might fail intermittently, such as the brake system, suspension, or steering .
