2012 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · CP62 VEO

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-12 recorded a single defect: the nearside rear brake disc was worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. This aligns with a long-standing pattern of brake disc issues, though no serious structural compromise was noted. The 2025-05-07 MOT also highlighted both rear brake discs in similar condition, alongside rear sub-frame corrosion. Earlier entries from 2022 reveal recurring corrosion in suspension components, exhaust, and a failed offside rear fog lamp, which was later resolved. The primary risk pattern involves brake disc wear and corrosion affecting multiple components. Brake disc issues have persisted across multiple MOTs, suggesting gradual degradation rather than sudden failure. Corrosion in suspension parts, sub-frames, and exhaust systems has also been consistently recorded, though never to the point of serious weakening. These defects indicate exposure to environmental factors or lack of maintenance, but no critical safety risks were flagged in the latest test. The trend shows stability in critical defects, with no new serious issues in the 2026 MOT. However, recurring brake disc and corrosion problems suggest ongoing maintenance demands.
