2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · WT16 AOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in December 2025 at 79,898 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recent failure in November 2025 at 79,893 miles due to an excessively worn offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. The fact that this was rectified and passed in the subsequent test suggests the previous owner was responsive to safety-critical defects once identified. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 10,659 miles recorded between January 2024 (58,274 miles) and January 2025 (68,933 miles), followed by a period of higher intensity. The rapid accumulation of 10,965 miles between January 2025 and December 2025 indicates a recent increase in usage, which places predictable stress on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension geometry, as the failed anti-roll bar linkage may not be an isolated incident. Other bushes or ball joints could show similar wear given the age. The braking system also requires attention; although the 2023 test flagged thin brake pads at both front and rear, the high mileage covered since then suggests these components may be nearing the end of their life again. Check the discs for significant ridging or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has sat stationary for periods between tests.
