2019 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Petrol · JH18 YES

This vehicle passed its MOT very recently in March 2026, but you should view this result with caution. The pass came just two days after a failure that listed several serious defects, including a tyre with tread depth below the legal limit and part separation on the outer edge. While the illegal tyre was clearly replaced to secure the pass, the other three tyres were still noted as worn close to the legal limit with worn edges at the time of the test. This suggests the seller has done the absolute minimum to get a certificate, leaving you with immediate replacement costs for at least three tyres. The maintenance trend appears to be worsening, or at least reactive rather than proactive. After a clean MOT in 2025, the car accumulated significant wear by early 2026. The history shows a pattern of ignoring wear until it becomes critical, as seen with the missing central rear seat belt buckle and the damaged front bumper, both of which were flagged as dangerous or likely to cause injury. The fact that the tyre pressure monitoring system was also inoperative during the failure further indicates a lack of attention to dashboard warnings. Regarding the mileage, 70,235 miles is roughly average for a seven-year-old vehicle, equating to about 10,000 miles per year. This consistent usage explains the steady degradation of consumables like tyres and brakes.
