Mitsubishi Outlander 4h PHEV CVT (2019)
2019 Mitsubishi Outlander 4h PHEV CVT
CarHunch analysed 115 real MOT records for the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander 4h PHEV CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 22%, far below the UK average of 80%, which is a serious red flag for reliability. The hybrid electric variants in this cohort perform even worse at 10.7%, suggesting the PHEV powertrain is generating significant test failures despite genuinely low mileage (median 44,365 miles for a five-year-old vehicle) and virtually no dangerous defects recorded.
The typical failure count is minimal at 0.02 per vehicle, but this low number masks a different problem: most of these cars are failing on first test rather than having minor faults to fix. If you're considering this model, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the battery management system, hybrid electronics, and transmission—these will be the real cost drivers, not traditional mechanical wear.
What to check before buying a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander 4h PHEV CVT
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
