2008 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Diesel · M155 ABP

The vehicle presents a stable and positive maintenance trend, showing a clean record for the last five consecutive tests. The most recent MOT on 23 October 2025 at 117,140 miles passed with no defects recorded, matching the clean results seen in 2024 and 2023. This recent history suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The record shows consistent annual usage, moving from 95,942 miles in September 2020 to 117,140 miles in October 2025. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of unexplained inactivity, which indicates regular road use rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the brake lines and exhaust system, as these components showed significant issues in the past. The June 2019 test flagged corroded nearside and offside rear brake pipes, alongside excessive exhaust emissions for a turbocharged engine. While the vehicle has passed several tests since these failures, verifying the current condition of the brake pipe integrity and checking for any signs of smoke under load remains a prudent step. The history also shows minor recurring issues with lighting and steering components, such as the track rod end play noted in June 2018 and various lamp failures in 2016 and 2017. Although these appear to be resolved, a thorough check of all exterior lighting and a test drive to monitor steering precision and suspension noise is advised to ensure no new wear has developed in these areas.
