2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · SH64 KWB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 11 July 2025 at 72,894 miles resulted in a failure due to tyre condition and insufficient washer fluid, though the vehicle passed immediately upon retest. The recurring presence of perished and worn tyres across multiple years suggests that the owner tends to address consumables only when they reach a legal threshold or cause an inspection failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a gap of 3,565 miles between the October 2022 test and the May 2023 test, followed by 5,693 miles until July 2024, and another 5,111 miles leading to July 2025. While the low mileage reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between periods of use can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should physically inspect the tyre set thoroughly, as the record shows a persistent history of cracking, perishing, and uneven wear across multiple axles. The 2022 test also noted pitted and scored rear brake discs at 58,655 miles, so the current braking system should be checked for excessive corrosion or thinning. Given the age of the Outlander and the low mileage, a close inspection of the chassis for structural rust and suspension bushes is essential, as these components often deteriorate through when a vehicle sits for extended periods.
