2019 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Petrol · FY19 KCF

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-04 recorded both offside and nearside rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit, with edge wear. This mirrors identical findings in the 2025-03-27 MOT, which also noted the same tyre condition. The 2024-03-23 MOT added that both rear tyres were slightly damaged or perishing, indicating a long-standing issue with tyre degradation. No other defects were recorded in the 2023-03-25 or 2022-04-05 MOTs, suggesting the tyre problems are the primary recurring concern. The pattern shows consistent tyre wear and damage over three consecutive MOTs, with no evidence of improvement. The 2024-03-23 entry specifically flagged perishing, which may relate to age or storage conditions, while later entries focus on wear. This suggests the tyres have been under sustained stress, possibly due to driving habits, alignment issues, or insufficient rotation. The trend does not indicate worsening beyond the same issues recurring, but the lack of resolution raises concerns about ongoing maintenance. The vehicle’s mileage of 73,641 miles over seven years equates to roughly 10,520 miles annually, which is typical for its age. This suggests moderate use rather than heavy wear, though tyres approaching legal limits at this mileage may reflect either aggressive driving or inadequate maintenance.
