2009 Mitsubishi Grandis 2.0L Diesel · WM09 AZT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on consistent pass results over the last several years. Despite a technical failure on 4 December 2023 at 241,420 miles, the car secured a retest pass just eleven days later at 241,424 miles with no defects recorded. This suggests the initial failure was likely a minor component or a sensor issue that was immediately rectified, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The clean record from the most recent test indicates the vehicle currently meets the minimum legal standards for road. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a 17-year-old MPV, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum. Between December 2020 and December 2023, the vehicle covered 18,392 miles, showing a consistent pattern of heavy use. The gap between the November 2021 test and the December 2022 test saw an accumulation of 4,345 miles, which aligns with regular annual use. This high mileage places significant cumulative stress on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly, yet the lack of advisories for excessive wear in the MOT history suggests the previous owners maintained a proactive service schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the underbody, as high-mileage vehicles are prone to corrosion, though the records did not flag specific rust issues. While the MOT history is clean, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and coil springs which are nearing the end of their functional life. Inspect the brake system for signs of binding calipers or thin discs, as these components are the most common points of failure on a vehicle of this age and mileage level.
