2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · DX68 UMR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 17 June 2026 at 50,082 miles. While the most recent result shows no defects, the maintenance trend appears to be worsening. The vehicle has failed two consecutive annual tests, suggesting a pattern of neglecting consumable components until they reach a point of failure. The 2026 failure was significant, involving structural tyre damage and worn wiper blades, which required immediate rectification to achieve a pass. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,260 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 12,327 miles in December 2021 to the current 50,082 miles. A notable increase in mechanical issues coincided with the jump from 23,357 miles in June 2023 to 31,634 miles in June 2024. This period saw the introduction of brake disc wear, which has since become a recurring theme in the testing history. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and tyre condition. The June 2025 test flagged pitted and scored brake discs across all four corners alongside thinning rear pads, and while these were cleared for the 2026 pass, the recurring nature of disc deterioration suggests the braking components may be nearing the end of their service life again. The tester also identified structural tyre failures, specifically tears caused by separation, in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. This indicates a tendency for the owner to run tyres until they become unsafe rather than replacing them during scheduled maintenance. Physical inspection should also verify the quality of the recent repairs. Given the failure of both windscreen wipers and the presence of tyre sidewall damage in the latest cycle, the vehicle's general upkeep of minor consumables appears reactive rather than proactive. Checking the remaining tread depth and inspecting the brake discs for uneven wear or scoring will be essential to ensure the recent repairs have been carried out to a sufficient standard.
