Buying Tips for 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (GG)
- Check for the "BMU (Battery Management Unit) Reset" scam, where sellers reset the battery health to show 100% capacity temporarily. A real test drive starting with a full battery is essential.
- Listen for a clicking noise from the rear motor on early models, which could indicate a mounting issue.
- Verify the operation of the rapid charging port (CHAdeMO) if you plan on using public chargers.
- Check the electric heater operation in EV mode; it's a common failure point that is expensive to fix.
