2019 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Hybrid electric · EG19 BVC

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-10 recorded three issues: a severely deteriorated offside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover, a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, and a worn offside rear anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush. These defects indicate ongoing wear in suspension components and tyre condition, with the anti-roll bar issue recurring from the 2025 MOT. The 2025 entry also noted the same anti-roll bar defect, though it was described as not causing excessive movement. No other significant issues were recorded in the 2024 or 2023 MOTs, suggesting a period of stable performance before the 2025 and 2026 tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 87,667 miles at 7 years old equates to roughly 12,524 miles per year, which is higher than average for its age. This could imply frequent use, potentially accelerating wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension parts. However, the absence of major defects in earlier MOTs (2024, 2023) and the limited scope of recent issues suggest the deterioration may be gradual rather than severe. The recurring anti-roll bar and suspension arm defects, however, highlight a consistent risk of mechanical degradation that could worsen over time. The trend shows some stability in the absence of new defects between 2023 and 2025, but the 2026 MOT introduced a tyre wear issue alongside re-emphasized suspension concerns. This could indicate increasing strain on components due to high mileage, though no direct link to prior failures is evident.
