2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · FX66 WVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive repair pattern rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 74,106 miles, it failed immediately prior due to a damaged rear engine mounting and a compromised nearside rear tyre. This pattern suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults once they result in an MOT failure. The trend remains unstable, as the vehicle consistently presents multiple significant defects across the last three testing intervals. At 74,106 miles over ten years, the Outlander has averaged approximately 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family SUV. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 7,800 miles between January 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the components are subject to standard wear, but the record shows that this wear is being neglected between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension components. The January 2025 failure at 66,314 miles highlighted critically worn front discs and thin pads on both axles, alongside a binding offside front caliper. While these were reportedly repaired, the buyer should check for uneven pad wear or signs of persistent sticking calipers. Furthermore, the February 2026 failure regarding the rear engine mounting requires a check for engine vibration or excessive movement, which could indicate strain on the drivetrain. The history also shows recurring issues with tyre maintenance, with multiple failures for low tread depth in 2024, 2025, and 2026. The buyer should verify that all current tyres have adequate tread and check for uneven wear patterns that might suggest alignment issues. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough inspection of the underbody for structural corrosion is also necessary to ensure the frame remains uncompromised despite the relatively low mileage.
