Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Mitsubishi Outlander Excd Safety Owners

These checks follow this Mitsubishi Outlander Excd Safety's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Mitsubishi Outlander Excd Safety.

• the windscreen — “windscreen damaged”

  Check the driver’s side of the screen within the swept area for chips and cracks; anything larger than 10mm in the driver’s central view is a fail. Most chips can be resin-repaired for far less than a new screen.

• the wipers and washers — “wipers does not clear the windscreen effectively”

  Run the wipers with the screen wet: they should clear it in one sweep without smearing or juddering. Top the washer bottle up and check both jets hit the screen.

• tyre pressures and valves — “tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative”

  Set the pressures to the figures on the door pillar, not the tyre wall, and check the valves do not hiss. A leaking valve is a two-minute fix that fails a test.
