2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · SP67 LTA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 23,192 miles was clean, with no recorded defects or advisories. This represents a significant improvement over the failure in late 2022, indicating that the mechanical issues identified at that time were addressed and subsequently maintained to a passing standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,577 miles per year. Data shows consistent but slow progression, moving from 17,418 miles in November 2022 to 23,192 miles by September 2025. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as fluid degradation, brake seizing, or the perish of rubber components which are not fully captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front-end geometry and suspension components. The failure in November 2022 specifically flagged an offside front tyre worn on the edges, which often points to alignment issues or a worn suspension bushing. Despite the recent passes, it is vital to verify that the current tyres show even wear and that the steering remains straight. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as vehicles that sit stationary for long periods are prone to rust on the braking surfaces.
