2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · DC05 AKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding the rear braking system components. While the most recent test in June 2026 at 23,746 miles passed, it introduced advisories for pitted and scored rear enough discs and corroded brake pipes on both sides. This follows a similar issue with the rear discs noted years prior at 19,212 miles, suggesting that the braking hardware is suffering from environmental degradation despite the low annual usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,638 miles per year. Between June 2023 (17,481 miles) and June 2026 (23,746 miles), the car covered only 6,265 miles. This low frequency of use explains the observed perishing of rubber components, such as the 2024 advisory for cracking on nearside and offside rear tyres, which often occurs when vehicles remain stationary for extended periods rather than through mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking assembly to assess the extent of corrosion on the brake pipes. The presence of grease or material covering the pipes, as flagged in 2026, can mask deeper structural decay that requires immediate replacement. Furthermore, the tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking and dry-rot, as the low mileage suggests the rubber compound has aged out irrespective of remaining tread depth.
