2019 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Hybrid electric · DV19 HLC

The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander holds a current MOT that passed on 8 August 2025 at 65,315 miles, but the maintenance trend is not entirely stable. The most recent test flagged both rear tyres worn close to legal limits and worn on their edges, indicating a recurring tyre wear issue that has now migrated from the front axle in 2022 to the rear axle by 2025. The 2022 test also recorded rear brake imbalance at 23 per cent, just meeting the threshold, suggesting the braking system has needed attention in the past. While the 2024 test was completely clean, the reappearance of tyre-related advisories in 2025 points to an ongoing pattern rather than a one-off event. The mileage progression is broadly consistent with typical use for a seven-year-old vehicle. It accumulated roughly 6,500 miles between August 2023 and August 2025, following a similar pace in prior years. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the record, and the annual mileage of approximately 9,300 miles aligns with normal mixed driving. The vehicle has not stood idle for extended periods, which reduces the risk of deterioration from prolonged disuse such as seized brakes or perished rubber components. A buyer should pay close attention to the condition and wear pattern of all four tyres, particularly the rears, given the repeated edge wear advisories. Uneven tyre wear on an SUV of this type often points to worn suspension bushes, damaged track rod ends, or incorrect wheel alignment rather than simple neglect. The 2022 rear brake imbalance advisory, though the vehicle passed on the retest the same day, warrants inspection of the rear calipers for binding and the discs for uneven wear or corrosion. Any sticking rear caliper could also explain the accelerated rear tyre wear seen in 2025. Beyond these specific flags, a thorough underbody inspection is advisable. Check the subframes, suspension mounting points, and exhaust system for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has spent time in coastal or winter-salt areas. The 2022 windscreen wiper and headlamp aim defects were minor and resolved, but verifying that the headlamp aim remains correct and that all lighting functions operate as intended is still good practice. Overall, the record suggests a vehicle that has been used regularly and kept legal, but the recurring tyre wear pattern indicates a mechanical issue that a buyer should investigate before committing.
