2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · WM64 ACZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 77,944 miles resulted in an initial failure due to thin rear brake pads and a damaged sidewall on the nearside front tyre. While the vehicle passed upon re-test, the recurring nature of brake-related failures suggests that the owner only addresses wear components once they reach the point of legal failure. At approximately 78,000 miles, the Outlander has covered a consistent average of roughly 7,000 miles per year, which is typical for a family vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady progression of mileage with no significant gaps in usage, moving from 69,970 miles in early 2025 to 77,944 miles in early 2026. However, the low annual mileage may have contributed to the degradation of rubber-based components, evidenced by the perishing tyres noted in 2019 and premature tyre wear in 2021. A buyer must inspect the rear sub-frame closely, as the February 2026 test flagged corrosion that was not yet seriously weakened. While it passed, structural rust on these models is often progressive and can accelerate rapidly if not treated or monitored. The record also shows a history of brake system issues, with front pads and discs failing in 2023 and rear pads failing in 2026. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the brake discs and check for binding calipers, as the tester noted a slight front bind in 2025.
