2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · DV64 CKD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test in October 2022 at 98,091 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a failure just one day prior. That failure identified a fractured offside rear coil spring and excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, they suggest the owner only addressed mechanical components once they reached a legal failure point. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between February 2021 at 79,255 miles and October 2022 at 98,091 miles, covering nearly 19,000 miles in twenty-one months. Given that the last MOT was performed nearly four years ago as of the current date, the vehicle is now operating without a valid safety certificate. This long interval increases the risk that rubber components, bushings, and brake systems have deteriorated significantly since the last professional inspection. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry, as the history shows recurring issues with track rod ends and coil springs. The March 2020 test at 70,258 miles highlighted worn brake pads and pitted front discs, indicating a tendency to run consumables until they reach their absolute limit. The repeated edge wear on front tyres noted in 2017 and 2020 further suggests potential alignment issues or worn shock absorbers that remain unaddressed. Given the elapsed time since the last record, a thorough check for corrosion on the underbody and the condition of the brake disc surfaces is essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered structural degradation or mechanical seizure while sitting.
