2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · FY18 FXT

This Mitsubishi Outlander presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 90,172 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets or exceeds DVSA requirements without the need for corrective work between tests. The mileage accumulation is linear and typical for an eight year old vehicle. It covered 7,558 miles between January 2025 and January 2026, and 6,697 miles in the preceding year. There are no erratic jumps or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or misuse. The steady increase from 61,032 miles in March 2022 to the current 90,172 miles reflects regular, predictable usage. The complete absence of advisories over the last five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Typically, one would expect to see mentions of tyre tread wear, brake disc corrosion, or suspension bush degradation by 90,000 miles. The lack of these flags suggests a proactive maintenance regime where consumables were likely replaced before they reached a limit detectable by an MOT tester. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT does not exhaustively cover. Check the service history for evidence of transmission fluid changes and timing belt intervals, as these are critical for the Outlander's drivetrain longevity. Examine the underbody for surface corrosion and check the condition of the hybrid battery or diesel particulate filter depending on the specific engine variant, as these components do not always trigger an MOT failure until a total breakdown occurs.
