2019 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Petrol · LF19 EYW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 49,077 miles passed, the tester issued an advisory for a perished offside front tyre showing cracking and tread damage. This follows a period of clean records in 2023 and 2025, but the failure in 2024 highlights that consumable components are occasionally neglected until inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable jump in usage between May 2023 at 19,636 miles and May 2024 at 30,885 miles, representing over 11,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has stabilised, with roughly 18,000 miles added over the last two years. This relatively low overall mileage suggests the vehicle has not faced heavy motorway use, which generally preserves the integrity of the rubber components and suspension bushings. A buyer must personally inspect the tyres in detail, as the record shows a recurring history of damage and perishing across multiple axles. The May 2024 failure for exposed cords on the nearside rear tyre and thin front brake pads suggests the previous owner waited for MOT failures to address essential safety items. Furthermore, the 2024 failure regarding an inoperative engine management indicator light requires verification via diagnostic scan to ensure the fault was properly cleared and is not a recurring underlying electronic issue. Check for any further cracking on tyre sidewalls, as the low mileage-to-age ratio leads to dry rot if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
