2016 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · WT16 NFV

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently in the process of improving, as the most recent MOT test in August 2025 was passed for 79,516 miles with no critical failures. This stands in contrast to the previous test on August 28, 2025, which failed, suggesting a period of stagnation or worsening condition rather than a sudden acceleration of wear. The maintenance trend is therefore not improving, but rather showing signs of a consistent, albeit slow, decline in mechanical health over the past year, which aligns with the vehicle's age of roughly 10 years. The mileage pattern indicates that while the vehicle is approximately 10 years old, the recorded mileage of 79,516 miles is consistent with a moderate level of use, neither representing a severe acceleration of wear nor a period of negligible maintenance. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage without significant gaps, suggesting that the vehicle has been driven at a consistent speed for the duration of the record. This steady progression of 7,952 miles per year is typical for an older vehicle, implying that the mechanical components have not been subjected to the extreme stress of daily driving that might cause rapid degradation. Given the history, particularly the failure on August 28, 2025, and the subsequent passing in August 2025, the buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and major component wear. The most significant risks identified are the corroded brake pipes and hoses, which indicate potential internal damage or corrosion that could lead to brake failure. Additionally, the cracked or fractured coil spring in the offside rear suggests a critical failure mode that requires immediate attention. The worn anti-roll bar bushings and linkage pins, along with the pitted brake disc, further confirm that the drivetrain and suspension are in poor condition, necessitating a thorough visual and functional inspection before purchase.
