2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Electric · CX64 DXU

The Mitsubishi Outlander presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 September 2024 at 108,325 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from March 2023 to March 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 28 March 2023 at 94,945 miles is anomalous: the DVSA record shows a fail on the same date and mileage as a pass with no defects listed, indicating an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the sequence. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a 2014 vehicle. From the 28 March 2023 test at 94,945 miles, the car covered 4,737 miles to the 27 September 2023 test at 99,682 miles, then 4,493 miles to 27 March 2024 at 104,175 miles, and a further 4,150 miles to the September 2024 test. This steady accumulation of roughly 9,000 miles per year suggests regular but undemanding use by a private owner. The clean record with no flagged wear items implies basic consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were renewed before each test rather than neglected. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the vehicle is now twelve years old. The MOT history offers no evidence of failing coil springs, binding calipers, or worn suspension components, but the absence of advisories does not confirm their condition at 108,325 miles. Verify the 28 March 2023 duplicate entry with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect exists. Given the unbroken pass sequence since the anomalous 2023 entry, the Outlander shows no worsening mechanical trend. Pre-purchase checks should focus on brake disc thickness, drivetrain noise, and evidence of standing-water rust in chassis members, none of which the MOT data can disprove.
