2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · RK66 UNZ

The most recent MOT, dated 1 December 2025, was a pass but highlighted a rear brake disc that is worn, pitted or scored (though not yet seriously weakened). This is the only defect recorded at that test, and it mirrors the same rear‑brake wear noted at the June 2025 test, where both rear pads were described as “wearing thin” and both rear discs were similarly scored. Across the four‑year MOT record the dominant pattern is progressive rear‑brake wear. In 2024 the rear discs were already flagged as worn, and by 2025 the pads have thinned to the point of being called “wearing thin”. Tyre wear also appears repeatedly – in late 2023 the front tyres were close to the legal limit, and in late 2024 the near‑side rear tyre was near the limit. A separate issue recorded in 2023 was slight play in the rear anti‑roll‑bar linkage ball joint and worn rear mounting bushes, which have not been mentioned again but may still be present. The trend is therefore not improving; the brake wear is persisting and the tyre wear, while not recorded again, suggests the vehicle has been driven hard enough to approach legal limits on several wheels. The anti‑roll‑bar linkage issue, once noted, has not been cleared, so it could be a lingering suspension concern. Mileage of 142,791 miles on a 2016 model works out to about 14,300 miles per year – well above the average for a vehicle of this age. This high annual mileage points to relatively heavy use, which accelerates wear on consumables such as brake discs, pads, tyres and suspension bushings.
