2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · GD17 YBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to minor defect items. While it passed its latest test on 5 December 2025 at 79,567 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior at 79,561 miles. That failure revealed multiple mechanical and electrical issues, including ineffective windscreen wipers and a worn offside track rod end, suggesting that the vehicle was operated with known faults before being addressed immediately for the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. Between November 2022 and December 2024, the car covered roughly 15,000 miles, indicating a steady usage profile. The most recent interval between December 2024 and December 2025 saw 2,651 miles driven, which is lower than average. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of stagnation that would typically lead to accelerated degradation of the rubber components. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, specifically verifying the offside front track rod end which was flagged for excessive play in late 2025. Additionally, the rear electrical wiring insulation was noted as deteriorated in two consecutive 2025 inspections; this should be monitored to ensure it does not lead to short circuits or lighting failure. The under-inflated tyre noted in the final test suggests a lack of basic daily maintenance checks, so a thorough review of all tyre pressures and tread depths is advised.
