2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · KY64 OPK

The vehicle presents a generally consistent history of passing tests, though recent records indicate a developing trend of suspension-related wear. In the December 2024 test at 87,000 miles, the tester flagged the nearside front track end dust cover as damaged or deteriorated, allowing for ingress of dirt. This was followed in the May 2023 test at 71,977 miles, where the nearside rear coil spring showed slight corrosion and the offside rear coil spring was noted. By the most recent inspection in December 2025 at 98,203 miles, the condition of these components persisted with the offside rear coil spring also showing minor corrosion. The mileage pattern appears relatively standard for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 69,452 miles and the December 2023 test at 78,310 miles, the car covered roughly 9,000 miles, suggesting consistent usage. However, the jump of nearly 10,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests indicates a period of higher intensity which likely coincides with the wear observed on rubber seals and metal springs noted in those records. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry and the front steering components. While the corrosion on the coil springs has not yet resulted in a failure, its mention across multiple tests suggests the metal integrity is thinning. The damaged track rod end dust cover requires replacement to prevent premature failure of the joint itself. Beyond these specific mechanical-wear items, the record shows no major structural failures or recurring brake issues, indicating the vehicle has maintained a baseline level of roadworthiness despite the minor degradation of suspension components.
