2007 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Diesel · WR07 NSU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 4, 2026, at 142,660 miles. However, the immediate history shows a lapse in preventative maintenance, evidenced by a failure just four days prior on May 30, 2026. The tester identified excessive play in the nearside front outer track rod end ball joint alongside a failure of both front position lamps. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the failure suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when a formal test fails. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 21,745 miles, representing a steady usage rate. The most recent interval shows 7,057 miles covered between the June 2025 and June 2026 tests. This relatively low annual mileage suggests the vehicle is not subjected to extreme mechanical stress, though age-related rubber degradation in suspension components remains a concern despite the mileage. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the track rod end failure indicates steering components are reaching the end of their life. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the subframe and exhaust mounting points is essential, as these records do not detail deep surface rust. The clean history from the previous three years suggests a stable baseline, but the recent mechanical failure highlights that basic lighting and steering components are being monitored reactively rather than proactively.
