2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · YR65 TXA

The roadworthiness status of this 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander is mixed, with the maintenance trend showing recurring mechanical faults despite passing its most recent test on December 11, 2025 at approximately 122,458 miles with a minor registration plate lamp defect. This test followed a failure just three days prior on December 8, 2025, where the tester recorded major defects for front brake imbalance across an axle and an excessively binding nearside front service brake. Earlier tests also show persistent braking concerns, specifically an advisory for both rear service brakes binding noted during the December 2, 2024 test, indicating that the braking system requires close scrutiny. The vehicle has accumulated 122,458 miles across its roughly eleven years on the road, translating to an average of about 11,133 miles annually. This mileage accumulation rate aligns with typical UK driving patterns for a diesel or petrol SUV of this age. The testing cadence remains consistent, occurring annually between October and December, with no significant gaps in the history to suggest prolonged periods of storage or neglected testing intervals. A prospective buyer must thoroughly inspect the entire braking system in person, focusing on the discs, pads, calipers, and sliding pins to verify that the historical binding and imbalance issues have been fully resolved rather than temporarily masked. Furthermore, the history contains severe structural and safety defects from earlier examinations, including dangerous ratings in October 2022 for both rear tyres displaying exposed ply or cords alongside a loose track rod lock nut. Checking the current tyre tread depth, suspension components, steering geometry, and underbody condition for corrosion or wear is essential before committing to a purchase.
