2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · EY15 PXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in November 2025 at 102,708 miles resulted in an initial failure due to multiple mechanical issues including a leaking washer bottle and severely deteriorated ball joint dust covers. While the vehicle passed on the immediate re-test, the recurring nature of suspension and brake related failures suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of legal failure. At 102,708 miles over 11 years, the Outlander averages approximately 9,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows a significant gap of 15,237 miles between October 2024 (87,471 miles) and November 2025 (102,708 miles). This consistent annual mileage accumulation explains the accelerated wear observed on consumables and suspension components, as evidenced by the progressive degradation of front brake discs and tyre tread noted across multiple inspection intervals. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the history shows repeated issues with ball joint dust covers and track rod ends. These failures indicate potential ingress of grit which can lead to premature joint failure. The rear diff mounting, flagged as defective in October 2024, is a critical area that should be verified to ensure the repair was robust and that no structural cracking has developed. Furthermore, the front brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored since 2023, necessitating a check of the current thickness and condition of the rotors to ensure they are not nearing their minimum limit.
