2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · GV64 OJS

The 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander holds a valid MOT pass dated 21 January 2026 at 100,231 miles, but the maintenance trend is clearly worsening. That most recent test followed a failure on the same day, where the tester flagged excessively deteriorated track rod end ball joint dust covers on both sides alongside corrosion on both rear coil springs. The corrosion advisories on the rear springs have appeared consistently since at least January 2025, when the car was tested at 91,856 miles, and the tester also noted slight play in the offside front lower anti-roll bar ball joint and a perishing nearside rear tyre. The January 2026 failure for split track rod end boots introduces a new concern, as compromised gaiters allow grit and moisture into the joint, accelerating wear and potentially affecting steering precision. At 100,231 miles over roughly eleven years, the annual average of approximately 9,112 miles sits within a typical range for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression is broadly steady, rising from 68,088 miles in March 2023 to 82,011 miles in March 2024, then to 91,856 miles in January 2025, and finally to 100,231 miles in January 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps that would suggest prolonged standing or odometer irregularities. The record itself is relatively sparse, with only five tests logged across the vehicle's life, which limits how confidently a buyer can assess long-term care patterns. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the rear suspension area. Both rear coil springs have carried corrosion advisories for at least a year, and while surface corrosion is common on older vehicles, advanced pitting can compromise spring integrity and lead to sag or fracture under load. The track rod end gaiters failed in January 2026 for no longer preventing dirt ingress, so the joints themselves need close examination for play and wear. The offside front anti-roll bar ball joint had slight play noted in 2025, and that component should be checked for progression. Given the recurring tyre condition advisories across multiple tests, including a cut and perishing, it is reasonable to expect that basic consumable upkeep was not always prioritised, and a thorough check of all tyre sidewalls, tread depth, and date codes is warranted.
