2009 Mitsubishi Outlander Warrior DI-D 2.0L Diesel · RJ09 ELX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on December 6, 2024 at 190,709 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early December 2023 at 175,293 miles, the subsequent pass just one week later suggests that the owner was proactive in addressing any identified faults immediately to keep the vehicle on the road. At 190,709 miles over 17 years, the Outlander has averaged approximately 11,218 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a diesel SUV. The record shows consistent usage, with a significant 23,000-mile interval between June 2021 and September 2022, and another 24,000 miles between September 2022 and December 2023. This regular mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which often leads to the degradation of seals and seized calipers in older braking systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components common to high-mileage diesel vehicles. Given the age and distance, a close look at the structural integrity, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, is essential as corrosion often begins to manifest on older Mitsubishi models. The lack of recorded advisories in the most recent two tests is encouraging, but the high mileage necessitates a check for worn suspension bushes, degraded control arms, and signs of oil leaks that may not be captured during a standard MOT inspection.
