2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Dyn Safety — MOT failures & pass rate
360 MOT tests on the 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Dyn Safety are in this dataset, and 92.2% of them passed. That is 2.5 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 10.3%. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, tyres and visibility.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (5.0%) and tyres (5.0%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, headlamp and headlamp aim — wipers alone was recorded 13 times.
Condition tracks the odometer closely. Failures run at 3.6% in the 0-30k band and 8.8% in the 60-90k band, a 5.2-point spread — more than double.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 21.4% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.
The trend is improving — the fail rate fell from 9.6% in 2022 to 7.6% in 2025, as the worst-kept examples leave the fleet.

What to check before buying a 2019 Outlander Dyn Safety
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: lighting & signalling accounted for 5.0% of tests. Start there.
- Lighting & signalling (5.0% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Tyres (5.0% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Visibility (3.1% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
