Our database tracks 4 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Good

Common Problems: MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Battery Degradation & "BMU Reset" Masking(Serious)
The traction battery naturally loses capacity over time. A major concern is the "BMU Reset" where a technician or seller resets the Battery Management Unit, forcing it to report 100% health (State of Health). This "masks" the actual degradation until the car relearns the true capacity over several weeks.
- Electric Heater Failure(Moderate)
The electric water heater (used when the engine is off) frequently fails. A small inline gauze filter can also block, preventing circulation.
- AC Compressor Failure (Wrong Oil)(Serious)
The electric compressor requires specialized POE oil. Using standard PAG oil during a regas will destroy the internal motor.
