2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · DL67 AAJ

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 3 February 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable and generally positive. While earlier tests identified common wear and tear items such as defective wiper blades and tyre damage, the absence of structural failures or recurring major faults suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition. With a recorded mileage of 110,820 miles over approximately nine years, this Outlander has averaged roughly 12,313 miles per annum. This usage is considered high for its age, which typically correlates with accelerated wear on critical consumables and drivetrain components. Prospective buyers should anticipate that the vehicle is entering a phase where major mechanical components, such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and transmission fluids, may require attention or replacement to maintain operational efficiency. Particular attention should be paid to the braking system. The MOT history shows a progression of rear brake wear, starting with thin pads in 2021 and moving to pitted and scored discs by late 2024. During a test drive, listen for grinding noises from the rear or feel for any shuddering under braking, which would indicate that the discs remain scored or warped. It is essential to verify whether the rear discs and pads were fully replaced following the 2024 advisory or if they were merely cleaned, as pitted discs can lead to reduced braking efficiency and premature pad wear. Given the high mileage and previous advisories regarding perishing rear tyres, a thorough physical inspection of all four tyre sidewalls for cracking or uneven wear is necessary. Furthermore, the buyer should scrutinize the service history for evidence of calendar based or mileage based major intervals, specifically the timing belt and water pump if applicable to this engine variant. Check for any fluid leaks around the engine bay and listen for suspension clunks or knocks over uneven surfaces, as high mileage vehicles often exhibit degradation in the coil springs and rubber bushings.
