2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FN18 HWM

The Mitsubishi Outlander presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 70,092 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 22 February 2024 at 44,933 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass six days later at 45,003 miles; this suggests an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. No recurring advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, corrosion, or emissions appear across the record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,762 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records show steady, linear accumulation: 38,869 miles in February 2023, 45,003 in February 2024, 54,761 in February 2025, and 70,092 in February 2026. The jump between February 2025 and February 2026 covers 15,331 miles, nearly double the prior yearly average, indicating heavier use in the final year. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The 2024 fail with zero defects logged warrants confirmation that no suppressed advisory such as worn brake discs or tired coil springs was overlooked at retest. Given the higher mileage run in the last twelve months, examine the front suspension arms, driveshaft gaiters, and exhaust system for fatigue not yet captured by DVSA testing. Check tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, as the record notes no replacements or warnings but the recent mileage surge will have accelerated wear. Verify underneath for structural integrity and any onset of corrosion to sills or subframes, particularly if the vehicle stood unused before its higher-mileage final year.
