2010 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · CT60 FHW

The 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 15 October 2025 at 143,598 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that time. This unblemished record over recent years demonstrates consistent mechanical reliability and suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a roadworthy standard without neglecting critical components. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,975 miles per year. The annual intervals show steady, predictable increments: 122,071 miles in October 2023, 131,598 miles in October 2024, and 143,598 miles in October 2025. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in usage that would indicate prolonged standing or excessive short-journey wear. The data set is notably clean, though the record shows an anomaly on 25 October 2022, where a failure at 112,872 miles is immediately followed by a pass at 112,874 miles with no defects recorded for either test. Despite the flawless recent MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential given the vehicle's age and six-figure mileage. Buyers should thoroughly examine the structural integrity of the underbody and suspension mounting points, looking for corrosion that might not trigger an immediate MOT failure but compromises long-term durability. The suspension bushes and coil springs will have endured significant cyclic loading over 143,598 miles, so check for cracking or sagging. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, and assess the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion. While the tyres and wiper blades are consumables easily replaced, verifying the condition of the drivetrain and steering components will confirm whether this clean paperwork translates to a sound mechanical reality.
