2012 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · VN12 AYB

The Mitsubishi Outlander presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 8 November 2025 at 146,366 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every successful examination without advisories. Records show a clean mechanical history across the available entries, indicating no recurring faults or escalating wear patterns that would concern a buyer. Mileage sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 10,455 miles per year against the 146,366 miles recorded. The jump from 125,041 miles at the 3 November 2022 test to 141,979 miles by 6 November 2024 reflects about 8,500 miles annually, then a modest 4,385 miles in the following year to the 2025 test. A notable gap exists between November 2022 and November 2024, with no intermediate tests logged. The duplicated same-day fail and pass entries on both 6–7 November 2024 and 8 November 2025 suggest administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical defects, as no faults were recorded on any failure. The absence of advisories across all tests means the DVSA record flags no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues requiring attention. Previous owners appear to have kept the car to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect of consumables such as tyres or wipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, suspension arm condition, and brake caliper operation given the vehicle's fourteen-year age and high overall mileage. The clean MOT trail offers reassurance, but paper results cannot reveal incipient wear hidden beneath a passed certificate.
