2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · NV67 CVY

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-22 recorded rear brake pads wearing thin and rear brake discs that are worn but not seriously weakened. These issues align with earlier findings from 2025 and 2024, indicating persistent brake system wear. The 2025-04-10 MOT noted a nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint with slight play, a defect also seen in the 2024-04-16 passed MOT. This suggests a recurring suspension component issue that has not been fully resolved. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,239 miles over 8 years equates to approximately 15,405 miles annually, which is high for its age. This level of use likely accelerates wear on consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension bushes. However, the MOT history does not confirm whether this mileage reflects consistent use or periods of inactivity, so the exact cause of wear remains ambiguous. Recurring defects include anti-roll bar linkage/bush wear, brake disc condition, and tyre damage. While the 2026 MOT shows no new major issues, the continued presence of brake pad thinning and anti-roll bar defects suggests a stable but unresolved risk pattern. No significant improvements are evident, and the lack of major repairs in the history implies these issues may have been managed through maintenance rather than full replacement.
