2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · SD66 UGP

The most recent MOT on 2025‑12‑04 recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the Outlander is currently roadworthy. Two days earlier the test had failed because the front brake pads were below the 1.5 mm limit and the TPMS warning light was on, indicating low tyre pressure. The swift retest and subsequent pass suggest the brake pads and pressure system were repaired, yet the history shows a recurring pattern of corrosion and wear. In December 2024 the vehicle was flagged for excessive corrosion in the rear brake pipes, a corroded central brake pipe, fuel‑tank corrosion with a reported leak (though not leaking on test day), a weakened sub‑frame, and an offside front track‑rod end with excessive play. These issues were addressed for the pass, but the underlying deterioration in braking and structural components remains a concern. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The recorded mileage rose from 46,750 mi in December 2020 to 111,145 mi in December 2025, averaging roughly 11,100 mi per year. An anomalous entry shows 401,582 mi in December 2021, followed by a drop to 70,144 mi in November 2022, indicating a data inconsistency that should be noted. Apart from this irregularity, the mileage trend is steady and consistent with normal annual wear. A prospective buyer should prioritise a hands‑on inspection of the braking system, checking front‑pad thickness, rear‑pipe corrosion, and the condition of the central brake line. The offside front track‑rod end must be examined for play, and the sub‑frame and fuel tank should be inspected for rust or leak signs. Tyre tread depth, especially on the front tyres, needs verification, and the TPMS sensor should be tested for accurate pressure monitoring. Finally, any engine noise reported in 2024 warrants a thorough mechanical check to ensure it has been fully resolved.
