2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · LD65 AEB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-19 at 173,114 miles recorded a pass with no defects. Subsequent tests in 2024-12-28 show a pass and a failure on the same date, though no defects were noted in either. This lack of recorded issues suggests a stable maintenance trend in the short term, but the absence of a 2026 test raises concerns about the vehicle’s current roadworthiness. The owner should verify if the car remains legally compliant and re-examine critical systems, as the last inspection predates the current date by seven months. The mileage of 173,114 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 15,738 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for this age. Notable jumps include 145,729 miles in 2022 to 158,932 miles in 2023, then 172,056 miles in 2024, indicating accelerated wear. The 2024-12-28 failure at 172,055 miles, paired with a pass the same day, may reflect administrative inconsistencies. Despite the clean MOT history, high mileage increases the likelihood of component fatigue, particularly in suspension, brakes, and exhaust systems, which require closer scrutiny. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often accelerates these issues. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, while the exhaust system’s integrity is critical given the vehicle’s age. No structural rust or major defects were recorded, but the lack of recent MOT data means the car’s current condition remains unverified. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
