2010 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Diesel · DN59 AFJ

The vehicle demonstrates a highly stable and positive roadworthiness trend, having secured clean passes in every MOT test since April 2022. The most recent inspection on 14 April 2025 at 86,877 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle is currently in a strong mechanical state. The single failure recorded on 12 April 2023 appears to be an administrative anomaly or a rectified minor issue, as the vehicle passed on the same day with no defects noted. With an average annual usage of approximately 5,430 miles, the 16-year-old Outlander has covered a relatively low total distance. The mileage accumulation has remained consistent, with roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles added between each annual test. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left standing for long periods, which often mitigates the risk of seized calipers, perished rubber seals, or fuel system degradation common in low-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should focus on components that do not always trigger a test failure but are prone to wear on a vehicle of this age. You should inspect the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of fatigue or perished rubber, as these parts often deteriorate with time regardless of mileage. Check the underside for surface corrosion on the subframes and sills, as the MOT test only flags structural rot rather than cosmetic oxidation. Finally, verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the low-mileage profile may mean these components have not been replaced frequently, potentially leading to corrosion on the inner faces of the discs.
