2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Petrol · SV68 WRJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 67,037 miles passed, it flagged thin rear brake pads and a nail in the offside rear tyre, issues that followed previous advisories. The recurring nature of brake component wear and tyre degradation suggests the owner only addresses faults once they approach legal limits or inspection failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between November 2021 test at 27,580 miles and October 2025 at 67,037 miles, the car covered roughly 40,000 miles, showing a steady rate of use. This consistent usage helps prevent excessive strain on the drivetrain, though the relatively low annual mileage compared to the age may have contributed to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking tyres noted in earlier records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and underbody. The record shows a history of pitted and scored brake discs across 2021, 2022, and 2023, alongside a corroded rear brake pipe identified in 2024. You should verify that the rear brake lines have been properly treated or replaced and are not suffering from further structural thinning. Additionally, the corroded exhaust joint noted in 2022 requires a check for the structural integrity of the exhaust system to ensure it has not progressed into a significant leak.
