2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Verve Phev CVT 2.4L Hybrid electric · DX70 TZO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in proactive maintenance regarding minor electrical components. While it passed the test in August 2024 at 122,450 miles, it had failed just one day prior at three miles lower. The failures were primarily related to lighting and sensors, specifically a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, incorrect headlamp aim, and a defective reversing lamp assembly. This pattern suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when necessitated by the MOT test itself rather than performing routine preventative checks. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 92,478 miles and the August 2024 test, the vehicle covered 30,000 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation indicates consistent heavy motorway use or commercial fleet application, which places accelerated stress on the CVT gearbox, suspension bushings, and braking system. The lack of advisories in the 2023 record is surprising given the high mileage, suggesting the vehicle was in good condition at that time. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and drivetrain components, as the high mileage often leads to premature wear of control arms and shock absorbers. Given the failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system in 2024, the electrical architecture should be verified to ensure no deeper wiring issues exist. Particular attention should also be paid to the condition of the brake discs and potential binding calipers, as the high-torque nature of this PHEV puts significant load on the braking system.
