2013 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · DS62 ACZ

The vehicle presents a history of reactive maintenance, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in May 2026 at 149,654 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a significant failure in August 2024 at 130,550 miles, where the tester identified multiple critical issues including an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, a weakened rear brake disc, and several tyres below the legal tread limit. While the vehicle has passed its latest test, the high density of failures in 2024 suggests that components were often only addressed after failing rather than through a preventative schedule. At 149,654 miles over 13 years, the Outlander averages approximately 11,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a family SUV. The mileage record shows a period of high scrutiny between 2022 and 2024, where the vehicle failed or passed with numerous advisories. This period specifically highlighted persistent corrosion on the rear sub-frame, lower suspension arms, and brake pipes. Although these issues were noted as not seriously weakened at the time, the recurring mention of rust across multiple structural components indicates an environment where road salt may have accelerated metal degradation. A buyer should focus specifically on the current state of the underbody and braking system. The 2022 and 2023 records repeatedly flagged corrosion on the rear sub-frame and suspension arms, which requires a physical inspection to ensure structural integrity has not deteriorated beyond repair. The 2024 failure for a weakened brake disc and low hydraulic fluid levels indicates that the braking system has been under significant stress. While the recent record is clean, the history of suspension wear and rust-related advisories suggests the vehicle requires monitoring of its bushings and structural components moving forward.
