2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · CF63 AEA

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander with 104,861 miles passed its most recent MOT on 2025-10-09, but the preceding test on 2025-10-06 failed with no defects recorded. This pattern of a pass immediately following a failure without recorded issues suggests potential inconsistencies in testing or minor compliance lapses. No structural, braking, or suspension defects were noted in the passes, indicating the vehicle has maintained basic roadworthiness. However, the absence of recorded faults in both failing tests raises questions about the accuracy of the MOT outcomes. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,738 miles per year. Notable gaps include a 14-mile increase between 2024-10-02 and 2024-10-10, suggesting possible inactivity, and a 5,916-mile jump from 2024-10-10 to 2025-10-06, reflecting normal usage. The MOT history is sparse but clean, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged. The vehicle’s maintenance record shows no evidence of persistent problems, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into its technical condition. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, for wear, as these are common wear points in older SUVs. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, given the vehicle’s age. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the recent failure without defects underscores the need for a hands-on assessment to verify the absence of hidden issues, such as binding calipers or exhaust leaks, which might not trigger immediate MOT failures.
