2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · SA02 ANT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a recent pass on 3 November 2025 at 76,219 miles. While the most recent test shows no new failures, the MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of brake disc deterioration. The tester flagged worn, pitted, or scored rear brake discs in the 2025 test, following a similar advisory for the offside rear disc in November 2024 at 67,135 miles. This suggests a trend of gradual component wear rather than sudden mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 51,108 miles in November 2022 to the current 76,219 miles. This predictable usage pattern indicates regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-mileage vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system and tyre condition. The repeated advisories regarding pitted and scored brake discs indicate that while the vehicle is legal, the discs are nearing the end of their service life. The failure in November 2023 at 58,567 miles, which involved both front tyres reaching the legal limit and a structural tear in the nearside rear tyre, suggests that previous owners occasionally deferred basic consumable maintenance. Beyond the brakes, the absence of suspension or structural corrosion advisories in the recent records is a positive indicator. However, given the history of tyre issues and brake disc wear, a thorough check of the remaining tyre tread depth and the condition of the brake pads and calipers is necessary to ensure no further deterioration has occurred since the last inspection.
