2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · EY15 PXV

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the suspension and braking components. While it passed its latest test in October 2025 at 130,846 miles, the tester identified an increasing number of advisories compared to previous years. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to a consistent list of mechanical defects in the last three tests suggests that components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require proactive rather than reactive maintenance. The mileage of 130,846 miles over 11 years reflects a consistent and average usage pattern of approximately 11,900 miles per annum. This is typical for a family SUV of this age. The data shows regular intervals between annual tests, with roughly 3,000 to 5,000 miles covered between each inspection from 2022 through 2025. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle has not been left stationary for long periods, though the high mileage places significant stress on the rubber-based and steering components as noted in the report. A buyer must specifically inspect the steering and suspension assembly, as the record repeatedly flags play in the steering rack inner joints, track rod ends, and steering linkage joints. These issues have progressed from slight play in 2023 to a noted defect in the rack inner joint by 2025. Additionally, the rear anti-roll bar bushes have been a persistent advisory for three consecutive years, indicating that the owner has not replaced these parts despite the ongoing noise or instability. The braking system requires close attention due to recurring corrosion on the rear brake pipes. This fault has been noted in every test since 2023, and the mention of grease or material covering the pipes suggests an attempt may have been made to hide the extent of the rust rather than replacing the metal. Furthermore, the repeated advisories for perishing rear tyres and worn front tyres suggest a pattern of only replacing consumables when they reach the legal limit. A thorough inspection of the brake line integrity and the age of the tyres is essential before purchase.
