2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · YF18 KWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent test indicates a lapse in proactive maintenance. While the car passed its MOT on 27 May 2026 at 80,759 miles, it failed that same day due to rear brake pads being worn to 1.1mm. This failure suggests the previous owner waited for components to reach the legal limit before addressing them rather than following a preventative schedule. Despite this, the vehicle remained clean for the three years prior. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation across the years, moving from 52,727 miles in May 2023 to 63,222 miles in May 2024, and 72,670 miles by May 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which typically helps prevent internal degradation of seals and fluid corrosion within the braking system. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent pad replacement included checking the discs for uneven wear or heat spotting. Given the thin pads flagged in 2026, the calipers should be tested for signs of seizing which might have caused the uneven wear. The suspension bushes and coil springs also merit attention as the 80,000-mile mark is often where rubber components begin to perish. No recurring structural corrosion or emission issues were noted in the history, but a physical check of the underbody remains standard practice for a Mitsubishi of this age.
