2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · LC16 WDJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 139,144 miles, it had failed just two miles prior due to a binding nearside front service brake and an illuminated tyre pressure monitoring system. The history shows a period of instability in early 2025 where multiple failures were recorded, suggesting that mechanical issues are often only addressed once they reach the point of legal test failure. At 139,144 miles over ten years, this Outlander has averaged approximately 14,000 miles per year, which sits above the national average. This high mileage typically accelerates wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. There was a significant jump in usage between February 2024 at 109,059 miles and March 2025 at 126,167 miles, representing over 17,000 miles in a single year. This heavy annual use explains the rapid wear noted on tyres and braking components in subsequent records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2025 failures highlighted restricted movement in both rear brake linkages and a seized parking brake lever, while the 2026 failure identified a binding front caliper. These indicate potential issues with caliper sliders or corroded mechanisms. Furthermore, the uneven wear reported on the offside front tyre in March 2025 suggests an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement.
