2012 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · DS61 BWN

This vehicle passed its most recent MOT in July 2025, but only after failing due to a major central exhaust leak and worn rear tyres. The primary risk pattern for this car is systemic corrosion and recurring exhaust failure. Brake pipe corrosion was flagged in both 2023 and 2024, and the exhaust system has suffered major leaks in both 2023 and 2025. This suggests a trend of worsening deterioration rather than a stable condition, as these issues are repeating or persisting over several years. The mileage of 138,514 is typical for a 14-year-old vehicle. This indicates a standard level of wear on the drivetrain and suspension, which is evidenced by the previous failures and advisories regarding the track rod end and anti-roll bar linkage. The repeated mentions of tyres being worn on the edges, combined with the suspension play, suggest that the vehicle may have ongoing alignment issues or worn bushings that are accelerating tyre wear. A buyer should first inspect the condition of the brake pipes and the entire exhaust system for signs of patching or new corrosion. You should also check the current tread depth and wear patterns on all four tyres to ensure the alignment is correct.
