2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · LP65 FUB

This Mitsubishi Outlander shows a concerning downward trend in mechanical condition. While the most recent MOT in September 2025 was a pass, it was accompanied by a significant list of advisories that suggest a lack of preventative maintenance. The primary risk pattern is a developing issue with the braking system and suspension. You are seeing recurring corrosion in the rear brake hoses, which has been noted in every MOT since late 2024. More alarmingly, the latest inspection has escalated this to include a corroded nearside brake pipe running from front to rear, alongside pitted and scored front brake discs. This indicates that the braking components are moving from minor surface issues to structural degradation. The vehicle's condition is worsening. In 2023, the car had a clean pass, but since then, the frequency and severity of defects regarding suspension bushes, tyres, and braking components have increased. The transition from "slight corrosion" on hoses to a corroded brake pipe and worn tyres suggests that maintenance is being reactive rather than proactive. With 126,601 miles recorded over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 12,660 miles per year.
