2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · SH64 KWP

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander has maintained a stable roadworthiness record over its most recent MOT cycles, with the last test on 6 November 2025—just six months ago at 28,946 miles—confirming it remains within legal limits. While the most recent pass included a minor advisory for worn front brake discs (1.1.14 (a) (i)), this is a common consumable issue rather than a critical failure, and no defects were recorded in the preceding four tests. The absence of repeated advisories or major faults suggests the vehicle has been subject to basic maintenance, though the single brake disc note implies attention to braking components should be prioritised during an in-person inspection. The recorded mileage of 28,946 miles over nearly 12 years—roughly 2,412 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age, with no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps in service. Each MOT was conducted within a narrow window of October–November, suggesting consistent testing intervals, though the lack of service records means no insight into intermediate maintenance. The steady mileage trend could reflect either minimal driving or extended periods of storage, which may have contributed to slower wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain fluids. A buyer should focus on verifying the condition of the front brake discs and calipers, as the 2025 advisory signals potential uneven wear or binding. The rear brakes were unremarkable in previous tests, but cross-checking for corrosion or uneven pad thickness is prudent. Given the vehicle’s age and low mileage, suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for dryness or cracking, while the subframe and wheel arches should be inspected for corrosion, as standing vehicles are prone to rust development. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, as these are often overlooked in lightly driven cars.
