2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · DA16 AAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 22 May 2025 with 226,964 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of instability in mid-2024. While the vehicle suffered two consecutive failures in May 2024, the clean report from the subsequent year's test suggests the owner addressed the necessary rectifications effectively to bring the car back to a compliant standard without further defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 22,700 miles per annum. Between May 2023 and May 2024, the car covered 21,269 miles in a single year, indicating consistent heavy-duty use, likely involving motorway environments. The 18,039 miles recorded between the May 2024 and 2025 tests confirm this rapid accumulation, which places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems compared to standard-use vehicles of the same age. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry, as the high mileage often accelerates wear on rubber bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers. Given the previous failures in 2024, specific attention should be paid to uneven brake disc wear or binding calipers that might indicate neglected maintenance. The vehicle should also be checked for structural corrosion on the chassis and mounting points, as high-mileage SUVs are frequently exposed to more environmental degradation over long-term use.
