2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · CV66 NWH

The most recent MOT inspection from September 2025 resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. When evaluating the long-term maintenance trend, the vehicle shows signs of recent remedial work. The history indicates a period of concern throughout 2023 and early 2024, where multiple advisories were issued for brake wear, tyre degradation, and minor oil misting from a shock absorber. However, the subsequent clean passes in late 2024 and 2025 suggest that these consumables and components have likely been replaced or serviced, moving the vehicle from a state of pending maintenance to a stable, roadworthy condition. With a recorded mileage of 82,058 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 9,118 miles per annum. This represents typical, moderate usage for a mid-sized SUV and suggests the vehicle has been used regularly enough to prevent the common issues associated with long periods of standing, such as brake binding or battery discharge. The mileage is consistent with the wear patterns seen in the previous MOT advisories, and there are no indications of erratic or excessive mileage accumulation that would suggest heavy commercial use or high-stress driving environments. During your test drive, it is vital to verify that the previous advisories have been fully addressed. Pay close attention to the braking performance; any shuddering through the pedal or a pulsating sensation when applying the brakes could indicate that the previously pitted or scored discs were not replaced or were poorly fitted. Listen for any knocking or clunking noises from the front suspension, particularly when driving over uneven surfaces, to ensure the nearside shock absorber and any associated bushes are in good order. You should also inspect the tyres for even tread wear across the width of the tyre to confirm that the previous offside wear issues have been corrected through proper alignment or replacement. Finally, given the 2023 advisory regarding corrosion on underside steering and suspension components, a physical inspection of the vehicle's underbody is highly recommended. Look for significant rust or structural degradation on the subframes and suspension mounting points, as surface corrosion is expected but heavy scaling should be noted. Additionally, check the condition of all rubber hoses and belts, and verify the service history to ensure that the recent clean MOT results are backed by documented maintenance. This will confirm that the transition from the advisory-heavy period to the current clean status was achieved through professional servicing rather than mere luck.
