2013 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · EX62 WBL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on January 13, 2026, at 118,446 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the 2023 inspection. While previous tests highlighted multiple areas of wear and tear, the clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the current owner has addressed outstanding mechanical and suspension issues identified years previously. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,100 miles per year. There is a notable accumulation of 1,686 miles recorded between January 2025 and January 2026, and a larger gap of 4,523 miles between March 2023 and January 2025. This regular usage suggests the car is driven consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of the engine, rubber components, and braking seals. A buyer should perform a close physical inspection of the rear suspension, as the 2023 test at 112,237 miles flagged play in both rear anti-roll bar ball joints. Although the vehicle passed since, these components are prone to wear on heavier SUVs and should be checked for lateral movement. The 2025 advisory regarding excessive exhaust smoke at 116,760 miles also warrants attention during a test drive to ensure there are no lingering signs of oil consumption or turbocharger inefficiency that could lead to a future failure.
