2013 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · DX63 UCD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance over the last three years. While earlier tests revealed multiple mechanical and consumable failures, the most recent MOT conducted in June 2023 at 91,557 miles passed with no defects recorded. This indicates that the previous owner addressed the outstanding issues that had plagued the vehicle in prior years, moving it into a state of compliance. At 91,557 miles over 13 years, the Outlander has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual use. The mileage data shows steady usage patterns, with a notable jump of 14,600 miles between July 2019 and September 2020. However, because the last recorded test was in June 2023, the vehicle is now over three years overdue for a current roadworthiness check. This gap is a significant concern as it necessitates a fresh inspection to ensure that no new mechanical degradation has occurred since the last official DVSA report. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record shows a history of pitted and scored discs alongside thin pads noted between 2017 and 2021. The 2021 test flagged a minor oil leak which warrants a visual check of the engine bay to ensure it has not worsened. Additionally, the recurring issues with perished tyres and low tread in 2018 and 2020 suggest that basic maintenance was once neglected, therefore the current state of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth must be verified to ensure the current owner is maintaining the vehicle properly.
