2014 Mitsubishi Outlander GX 3 DI-D 2.3L Diesel · P77 EEC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 June 2026 with no defects recorded. While the history indicates two failures in the preceding years, the absence of specific recorded defects in the provided DVSA data suggests these may have been minor issues quickly rectified or administrative failures. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle consistently returns to a pass state without a growing list of advisories or recurring structural failures. With a recorded mileage of 125,629 miles over a twelve-year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,469 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a diesel SUV of this vintage, suggesting a consistent duty cycle rather than extreme long-distance motorway use or prolonged periods of stagnation. At this mileage, the drivetrain and chassis have undergone standard wear, and the buyer should expect the vehicle to be entering a phase where major wear-and-tear components require closer scrutiny. Since the MOT history is remarkably clean of recorded advisories, the inspection must focus on age-related degradation and high-mileage wear that does not always trigger an MOT failure. A thorough physical examination of the tyre sidewalls is essential to check for perishing or ozone cracking, regardless of remaining tread depth. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur if the vehicle has spent time stationary between its typical journeys. Attention should be paid to the service history to verify that the timing belt and water pump have been replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's interval, as a failure here would be catastrophic for the DI-D engine. During the test drive, listen for suspension clunks or knocks that may indicate worn coil springs or suspension bushes, and check for any shuddering under braking. Finally, verify the health of the 12V battery and ensure that all calendar-based fluids, including coolant and brake fluid, have been refreshed to prevent internal corrosion and maintain hydraulic efficiency.
