2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · HT15 OMP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 28 May 2026 at 90,232 miles resulted in a pass, it failed just three miles prior. This failure involved multiple suspension components, including rear anti-roll bar linkage boots and front track rod ends. The recurring nature of rubber-related failures across three consecutive years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach the point of failing an MOT test. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between June 2024 at 75,291 miles and May 2025 at 81,486 miles, the car covered 6,195 miles, followed by another 8,746 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is not sat for long periods, though the age-related degradation of rubber components like boots and tyres is becoming evident despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension for further signs of wear, as the track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages were recently flagged for deterioration. The 2024 advisory noted lipped front brake discs, which should be checked for thickness and rust to ensure they are not nearing their minimum limit. Furthermore, the record shows a persistent trend of neglecting tyre maintenance, with worn edges and structural cuts appearing in both 2025 and 2026. This indicates a potential alignment issue if the edge wear is consistent, which could lead to premature replacement of new tyres.
