2013 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · N6 GDL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. The most recent test in April 2026 at 116,419 miles saw an initial failure due to a perished offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover and both front tyres reaching legal limits. While the vehicle passed following these repairs, the recurring appearance of suspension and brake issues suggests components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure. At 116,419 miles over a13-year span, the Outlander has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a large SUV. The data shows consistent annual mileage progression, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the April 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 8,000 miles in the year prior. This steady use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and brake seals. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system and front geometry. The record from 2023 at 92,536 miles flagged pitted and scored discs on all four wheels alongside a binding nearside front caliper, followed by thin rear pads in 2025. The uneven edge wear on the front tyres noted in 2026 further points to a potential underlying alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification. The buyer should also check the anti-roll bar links and other ball joints for play, as the 2026 failure indicates the rubber boots are beginning to fail across the front end.
