2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · DU18 HMH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate until July 2027, though the most recent test on 22 July 2026 reveals a significant decline in maintenance standards. While the car passed its previous two annual inspections without advisories, the latest record highlights a cluster of neglected maintenance items including split suspension bushes, degraded braking components, and uneven tyre wear. This sudden accumulation of faults suggests that the previous owner may have deferred essential servicing until the point of failure, marking a negative shift in the vehicle's mechanical upkeep. Accumulating 102,934 miles over eight years indicates a high-usage profile, averaging approximately 12,867 miles per annum. The mileage progression remains consistent across the recorded history, showing steady annual increases rather than long periods of inactivity. This level of usage is typical for a high-mileage commuter vehicle, though the recent MOT failures at 77,774 miles in 2024 and 102,932 miles in 2026 indicate that the drivetrain and chassis components are now entering a phase where wear-related repairs are becoming frequent. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The tester noted pitted front discs and thin pads on both axles, which indicates the entire braking system requires immediate attention. Furthermore, the split rear transmission securing bush is a critical item that will likely cause drivetrain vibration and accelerated wear if left unaddressed. The uneven wear on the offside rear tyre also points to potential tracking or alignment issues that require professional adjustment to prevent premature tyre replacement. Given these findings, budget for a comprehensive brake overhaul and a suspension health check before committing to the purchase.
