Why the fuel type changes the number
Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.
On the Mitsubishi Outlander specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 85.2%, and this hybrid version sits 4.5 points above the 80.7% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The hybrid Mitsubishi Outlander is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average hybrid Mitsubishi Outlander had covered 78,538 miles at test, against 99,713 for the diesel and 98,332 for the electric and 64,946 for the petrol. That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the Mitsubishi Outlander page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
