2009 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Diesel · FN59 USL

The Mitsubishi Outlander passed its most recent MOT on 10 February 2026 at 199,408 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available data, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. Mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 17 year old vehicle. The record shows 180,397 miles at the January 2024 pass, rising to 185,117 miles at the January 2025 failure and 185,201 at the pass four days later, then 199,407 at the February 2026 failure and 199,408 at the pass. That equates to roughly 9,000 to 14,000 miles per year, close to the expected average, with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation evident. The test history is sparse and entirely clean on paper, but two failed tests in February 2026 and January 2025 were logged with no defects recorded. A failure with zero faults cited usually means administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical defect, yet the pattern of failing then passing within days on near identical mileages suggests the previous owner deferred paperwork or minor prep. No recurring mechanical faults, binding calipers, coil spring fractures, or structural integrity concerns appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable wear and hidden corrosion given the 199,408 mile total. Examine brake disc thickness, suspension arm bushes, and underbody chassis for rust the MOT did not flag. Confirm the tyre tread and wiper blades are serviceable despite no advisories, as high mileage often masks unnoticed consumable degradation between tests.
