2009 Mitsubishi Grandis 2.0L Diesel · WV59 LSE

The 2025‑08‑15 MOT at 146,074 miles records a failure, rendering the Mitsubishi Grandis presently non‑road‑legal. Repeated breaches of the near‑side front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover, persistent rear service brake binding, and fractured anti‑roll bar linkages on both sides demonstrate a clear worsening trajectory since the 2023 test. From 2013 (36,089 mi) to 2025 (146,074 mi) the vehicle has accumulated roughly 110,000 miles, averaging about 9,200 mi per year; the most pronounced increase occurs between 2023 (123,684 mi) and 2025 (146,074 mi), a rise of 22,390 mi in just two years, indicating intensified use. A buyer should therefore examine the near‑side front lower suspension arm ball joint and its dust cover for severe deterioration, verify the condition of the rear service brake calipers and discs for binding or excessive wear, and inspect the anti‑roll bar linkages on both sides for cracks or fractures. Additional checks of tyre tread and side‑wall integrity, the rear exhaust rubber mount, and any signs of structural rust or corrosion are essential to confirm whether the documented defects have been remedied.
