2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Hybrid electric (clean) · WD68 EZB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed several clean tests, the September 2025 test at 71,630 miles failed due to a non-functional nearside front headlamp and insufficient washer fluid. The subsequent retest four miles later at 71,634 miles revealed advisories for thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored rear discs. This suggests that the braking system is now requiring attention after a period of defect-free operation. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The record shows a steady progression from 46,367 miles in 2022 to 63,399 miles in 2024, finally reaching 71,634 miles in late 2025. This linear accumulation suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally prevents degradation of rubber components and internal seals compared to low-mileage stationary cars. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the pitted rear discs have not progressed beyond the point of safe replacement. Given the advisory for both thin pads and scored discs, the calipers should be checked for binding or seizing that might have caused uneven wear. Since the history shows no structural corrosion or suspension failures over the last four years, the mechanical integrity of the chassis appears stable, but the recent brake-related faults indicate the vehicle is entering a phase requiring more frequent consumable replacements.
