2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · LX67 JBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its latest MOT on 13 June 2026 at 128,933 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of neglect in 2024 and 2025. While the most recent test indicates a clean bill of health, the previous history suggests a pattern where the owner only addressed mechanical issues once they resulted in a test failure. At 128,933 miles over nine years, this Outland has averaged approximately 14,300 miles per year, which sits above the national average for a passenger vehicle. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 19,000 miles driven between May 2024 and June 2025, and another 16,000 miles in the final year. This high level of use typically suggests long-distance motorway driving, which places significant stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and steering system due to the 2024 failure of an insecure offside front steering linkage ball joint dust cover and the recurring flagging of thin rear brake pads. The 2025 failure for very low engine oil is particularly concerning for a high-mileage engine, as it indicates potential oil consumption or a leak that should be checked for smoke or external residue. Additionally, the 2025 failure regarding damaged tyre cords on the offside rear suggests that previous owners may overlooked basic safety maintenance, necessitating a thorough check of all four tyres for structural damage or uneven wear patterns.
