2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FD15 AVL

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 24 July 2025 at 84,159 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than preventative, as the record shows a consistent pattern of failing tests due to component wear before rectifying the issues to achieve a pass. The most recent failure on 24 July 2025 at 84,157 miles involved a worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and a rough offside front wheel bearing. While these specific faults were addressed for the pass, the history indicates a recurring need for mechanical attention to suspension and steering components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,651 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden spikes in mileage. Between October 2024 and July 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 5,400 miles, which aligns with the established annual average. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle is used regularly for commuting or general transit rather than being subjected to extreme high-mileage motorway driving or long-term storage. A prospective buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The record flags multiple issues with suspension components, including a ball joint dust cover failure in October 2020 and the ball joint wear in July 2025. The shock absorber also suffered a serious fluid leak in October 2024. These repeated failures suggest the suspension geometry and damping may require close monitoring. Furthermore, the history shows a pattern of thin brake pads being flagged in both October 2018 and October 2022, indicating that consumable wear is a frequent maintenance requirement for this vehicle. Tyre maintenance also warrants scrutiny. The vehicle failed in October 2023 due to tread depths below the legal limit and in October 2018 for similar tyre wear issues. While the most recent 2025 test recorded no defects, the historical tendency to run tyres to the legal limit suggests the previous owners may have deferred routine consumable replacements. An inspection should confirm the current condition of all four tyres, including tread depth and evenness of wear, to ensure no immediate replacement is necessary.
