2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · WS17 CAA

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on 31 October 2025 at 78,994 miles. This most recent inspection recorded no defects, indicating that any previous issues identified in earlier tests have been rectified. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes, the most recent clean results suggest the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults to maintain road legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,777 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of activity between August 2024 at 71,951 miles and August 2025 at 78,182 miles, covering over 6,000 miles in twelve months. This regular interval suggests consistent use, which generally helps prevent the degradation of seals and components associated with long periods, though the rapid succession of tests in 2025 indicates a specific issue required two immediate attempts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the failures in August 2024 and August 2025, as the record does not specify the exact reasons for those rejections. Given the age and mileage of this Outlander, a close look at the suspension bushes and control arms is necessary, as these are common points of wear on this model. The chassis should be inspected for the onset of structural corrosion on the subframe and mounting points, though the MOT history has not yet flagged advisories for rust, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this structural integrity.
