2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed CVT

CarHunch analysed 778 real MOT records for the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2019 Outlander Exceed CVT is a reliably robust performer, with an 89.2% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and only 13.4% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low. The petrol engine variant maintains that same 89.1% pass rate across the 773 vehicles tested, showing consistent dependability regardless of powertrain choice.

At a median mileage of just 31,827 miles for vehicles this age, these Outlanders are running lightly, yet they're still averaging 0.53 failures per MOT, suggesting any problems that do arise are minor. The 4.2 advisories per vehicle indicate routine wear items need attention, so budget for brake pads, wipers, and suspension checks—but before buying, ask the seller for full service history to confirm the CVT transmission has been properly maintained, as that's where longevity stakes are highest.

What to check before buying a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed 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.
