2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · FT68 MTE

A consistent record of clean MOT results characterizes this vehicle, despite a single failure recorded on 09 December 2025 which was rectified prior to the successful pass on 12 December 2025. The absence of any recorded advisories across the five documented tests suggests that components such as braking systems, lighting, and emissions have met the required standards without flagging progressive wear or minor defects. This pattern indicates a stable roadworthiness profile over the recorded period, with the most recent testing cycle showing no outstanding mechanical concerns. The vehicle has covered 82,980 miles over its eight-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 10,372 miles. This usage rate is consistent with typical UK driving patterns and suggests the vehicle has not been subject to extreme high-mileage motorway use or, conversely, prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this level of mileage means that while the vehicle is not low-mileage, it has not necessarily reached the threshold where heavy wear on major drivetrain components or suspension linkages becomes an immediate certainty based solely on distance travelled. Given the lack of specific advisories regarding corrosion, fluid leaks, or suspension wear in the DVSA history, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the integrity of components that typically show wear at this mileage. While the MOT records do not flag any issues, a test drive should be used to monitor for any subtle changes in steering response or the presence of knocks and rattles from the suspension bushes or coil springs when navigating uneven surfaces. It is also prudent to check for any uneven tyre wear or brake pedal judder, which could indicate disc or caliper issues not captured in the recent passing tests. The absence of recorded failures for structural integrity or exhaust emissions is a notable aspect of this history. However, as the MOT is a snapshot of a single point in time, the buyer should still verify the condition of rubber components, such as CV boots and suspension bellows, which can perish with age regardless of mileage. Paying close attention to any fluid weeping around the engine or transmission casing during a stationary inspection will complement the clean electronic record provided by the DVSA.
