2018 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.4L Hybrid electric · YT68 XDA

The vehicle currently holds a clean MOT status, with the most recent test conducted on 6 October 2025 at 47,420 miles resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, as the vehicle successfully cleared the minor headlamp alignment issues that caused a failure in August 2024. The absence of advisories in the last inspection suggests that the core mechanical systems, including the suspension and braking components, are currently operating within expected tolerances. The recorded mileage of 47,420 miles over an eight-year period averages approximately 5,900 miles per annum, which is notably lower than the typical usage for a vehicle of this class. The history shows consistent annual testing intervals between 2022 and 2025, confirming the car has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The steady accumulation of roughly 3,000 to 5,000 miles per year reflects a pattern of light, regular usage rather than heavy commercial or motorway duty. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the headlamp units and the fuel system, given the specific items flagged during the 2024 failure. Although the fuel cap seal was noted as cracking, the subsequent pass suggests it remains functional, but it is worth checking for any signs of fuel vapour smells or degradation around the filler neck. Since the vehicle is now approaching its next MOT due in late 2026, a thorough check of the brake discs for surface corrosion and the suspension bushes for signs of perishing is advisable, as these components often show wear on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
