2017 MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER2.0L Hybrid Electric (Clean)

The vehicle is currently roadworthy as the June 12 2026 MOT passed, though rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin and the rear differential bush showed slight deterioration. The maintenance trend is mixed: the same‑day failure on front brake pads indicates recent brake wear, while prior tests reveal recurring rear diff bush issues without clear worsening, suggesting intermittent attention rather than a steady decline or improvement. Mileage has risen steadily from 39,748 miles in November 2020 to 75,261 miles in June 2026, an increase of 35,513 miles over six years, averaging about 5,919 miles per year. The 2020‑2022 gap of roughly two years and 8,650 miles points to periods of low use or missing records, but the overall pattern aligns with typical usage for a nine‑year‑old vehicle. A buyer should inspect the rear brake pads and calipers for wear, replace front pads if they remain below 1.5 mm, and examine the rear differential bush for play or corrosion. Suspension components, notably the offside front lower arm ball joint dust cover breach and the slight play recorded in 2022, merit a close check of ball joints, bushes and mounting bolts for looseness or corrosion. The recurring rear brake wear and diff bush deterioration indicate that these items have not been addressed promptly, so a thorough visual and functional assessment of the rear axle, brake system and suspension geometry is essential.
