2013 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · NW13 WAT

The vehicle has a clear roadworthiness profile: it is currently roadworthy, as demonstrated by the most recent MOT test on 2025-09-03 at 120,381 miles, which passed with no recorded defects. While the MOT history shows a consistent passing record from 2023 to 2024, the 2024-09-03 failure at 112,176 miles indicates a temporary anomaly rather than a systemic failure. This suggests the vehicle may have experienced a transient issue, such as a minor suspension wear or a timing belt failure, which resolved itself by the time the next test was conducted. Regarding the mileage accumulation, the data indicates a relatively stable pattern over the past two years, with a gap between the 2024-09-03 and 2024-09-04 tests spanning only three days. This lack of significant mileage accumulation suggests the car has maintained its mechanical integrity despite the two separate MOT failures. The gap between the 2024-09-03 and 2024-09-04 tests is minimal, and the 2023-08-07 test at 103,283 miles confirms that the vehicle has not accumulated excessive wear since the initial passing, implying that the mechanical components have remained within safe operating limits. Given the pattern of passing the MOTs but experiencing a single failure, the buyer should inspect the vehicle in person for any signs of structural rust, particularly around the suspension bushings and caliper binding, as well as for any corrosion in the exhaust system. A buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and check for any binding calipers, as the history suggests the brakes may have been a point of contention. If the vehicle is under 10 years old, the mechanical risks are low, but the buyer must be prepared to perform a full visual inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust components to confirm the absence of hidden faults.
