Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a hybrid SUV with a consistent inspection history. The vehicle shows no recorded MOT failures over the last five years, which is a positive indicator for its recent history.
When inspecting this specific 1998cc hybrid model, focus on the integration of the electric and petrol systems. While the MOT history shows no mechanical failures, you should verify the service intervals have been met to protect the hybrid battery and drivetrain.
Check the tyre tread and condition thoroughly, as tyres are a common failure point for this model type. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, also inspect the suspension components and brake pipes, which are noted as frequent failure points in the wider Mitsubishi Outlander dataset.
As a Hybrid Electric vehicle, this Outlander is designed for improved fuel efficiency compared to pure petrol counterparts, though actual costs will depend on driving habits and charging access. Tax bands for this 2.0L hybrid vary depending on the specific CO2 emissions recorded at registration.
Insurance groups for the Outlander are typically moderate, but you should obtain a specific quote for the GX16VCJ registration. Maintenance costs should be considered alongside the potential long-term health of the hybrid battery system.
Despite the clean MOT record for this specific vehicle, the aggregate data for the Outlander shows that brake pipes, ball joints, and tyres are the most common reasons for failure. It is advisable to check the integrity of the brake lines and the condition of the front-end suspension joints.
Additionally, inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues. Since this is a hybrid, ensure there are no warning lights on the dashboard related to the electric drive system during your test drive.
