2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FV66 BFY

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with the maintenance trend showing signs of stability following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test in November 2025 at 72,018 miles passed with no mechanical advisories, noting only a chip in the offside front windscreen. This represents a significant improvement compared to late 2022 where the vehicle failed due to multiple critical brake and suspension defects. The mileage pattern is consistent, with 72,018 miles recorded over ten years, which calculates an average of approximately 7,200 miles per annum. This aligns with typical usage levels for an SUV of this age. The intervals between tests are regular, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between November 2024 and November 2025, and approximately 5,300 miles between November 2023 and November 2024. This steady usage suggests predictable wear patterns rather than long periods of stagnation. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the record reveals a history of neglect. Tests in 2022 and 2023 repeatedly flagged thin brake pads, worn or pitted discs, and significantly worn rear components. While these were addressed to pass subsequent tests, the recurring nature of these faults suggests previous owners only performed maintenance upon failure rather than preventative servicing. Additionally, the offside track rod end ball joint dust cover flagged in 2022 should be checked for current deterioration to ensure the steering geometry remains secure. Tyre condition also warrants scrutiny, as the history from 2022 and 2023 shows multiple instances of tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven wear. Although the current MOT does not list these issues, the buyer should verify tread depth and uniformity across all axles to ensure no underlying alignment problems or perished rubber remain. The presence of windscreen damage in both 2024 and 2025 indicates a minor oversight in cosmetic maintenance that has not yet been rectified.
