2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · WF67 NTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a concerning pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 158,831 miles showed a pass only after addressing failures in critical safety components and lighting. The failure of that test due to front brake pads measured at less than 1.5mm suggests that the previous owner only replaced parts once they reached the point of legal failure, rather than during scheduled service intervals. At 158,831 miles over eight years, this Outlander has averaged approximately 20,000 miles per year, which significantly exceeds the national average for a passenger vehicle. The data shows heavy usage between test intervals, with 17,000 miles covered between December 2024 and June 2025, and another 21,483 miles in the following months. This high-intensity mileage places accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the recurring issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically the rear anti-roll bar assembly. The record shows a worsening progression from a worn bush in June 2025 to a severely deteriorated ball joint dust cover by December 2025. This indicates that the rubber components are failing rapidly under the high-mile load. Additionally, the front brake system should be checked for uneven wear or caliper sticking, as the history proves the pads were allowed to run to the absolute limit before a failure occurred.
