2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · WM67 XBO

The vehicle's current roadworthiness stands at pass, but the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of deterioration rather than stability. The latest test on 2026-03-26 at 80,380 miles failed, confirming that the vehicle has been in the UK for over 10 years without addressing the critical issues found in that specific test. This failure suggests that the owner has likely failed to perform routine checks, leading to progressive wear on components such as brake discs, suspension bushings, and brake hoses that have deteriorated over the intervening years. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap between the most recent test and the 2018 model year, with the vehicle having accumulated roughly 10,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation, combined with the fact that the MOT has failed in the September 2023 test, indicates that the owner may have been driving the car for a substantial period without any maintenance interventions. The consistent failure to pass the MOT in the most recent test suggests that the vehicle has been subject to significant wear and tear, particularly on the braking and suspension systems, which are prone to failure under heavy use. In summary, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and mechanical wear in the rear sub-frame, suspension mounts, brake discs, and brake hoses. Given the history of two failed tests in the last year and the accumulation of over 10,000 miles, the risks of brake failure, suspension damage, and corrosion are high. A thorough physical inspection is required to identify any corrosion in the sub-frame or mounting areas, and to verify the condition of the brake discs and hoses, as the current test has already flagged these components as worn or corroded.
