2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · MF67 APK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in January 2026, but only after a failed test involving a critical safety defect. The offside front lower suspension arm ball joint was likely to become detached, which also prevented the brakes from being tested. There is a clear and worsening pattern of neglect regarding consumables. Between 2024 and 2025, there were recurring advisories and failures related to thin brake pads and worn, pitted, or corroded brake discs on both the front and rear. The tyres also showed significant wear and perishing by early 2025, and a TPMS light has remained active for several years. The mileage is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging nearly 15,000 miles per year. More concerning is the recent usage spike; the car covered approximately 38,000 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This level of intensive use typically accelerates wear on the suspension, drivetrain, and braking systems. The overall condition trend is worsening. The transition from minor brake advisories in 2024 to a critical suspension failure in 2026 suggests that maintenance has struggled to keep pace with the increasing mileage.
