2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · YF18 KWN

The vehicle is currently in an unroadworthy state following a significant MOT failure on 28 July 2026 at 74,624 miles. The maintenance trend is visibly worsening, transitioning from minor consumable issues to a cluster of mechanical and safety failures. While the vehicle passed in 2025, the most recent test reveals critical defects including a badly split rear differential mount bush and a non-functional seat belt buckle. This shift suggests a decline in preventative maintenance, as multiple components have deteriorated simultaneously to the point of failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2026, the car covered roughly 47,000 miles, indicating steady annual use. However, the frequency of failures in the last two years suggests that the lower mileage has not prevented a lack of mechanical oversight. The jump from 47,035 miles to 55,002 miles saw a failure involving multiple tyre defects and a motor mount, indicating that basic upkeep checks are being neglected between annual inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and rubber components. The record shows a recurring history with anti-roll bar bushes and track rod end dust covers, which have repeatedly failed or been flagged for deterioration, suggesting accelerated wear. The split rear differential mount bush is a serious mechanical concern that requires immediate attention to ensure drivetrain stability. Additionally, the failure of the offside rear seat belt and the split petrol cap seal must be rectified, as these represent direct safety and emission risks that the previous owner has failed to address.
