2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · SD14 XDW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of mechanical correction. The most recent test on 8 April 2026 at 94,784 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful retest in March 2025, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in late 2023 have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of compliance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. Between the October 2024 test at 86,443 miles and the March 2025 test at 87,164 miles, the vehicle covered relatively low mileage, whereas the period between March 2025 and April 2026 saw a more significant increase of 7,620 miles. This pattern suggests typical mixed usage rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty driving. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension components and tyre wear patterns. The records show a recurring issue with front suspension geometry and component wear, specifically the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and ball joints flagged in October 2024 and the more serious nearside front suspension arm ball joint failure in October 2023. While these faults were cleared, a physical inspection of the front wishbones, ball joints, and anti-roll bar linkages is necessary to ensure no new play has developed. The history also highlights a tendency for the owner to run tyres close to the legal limit, with multiple advisories and a failure for low tread depth in October 2023. Although the April 2026 test was clear, checking the remaining tyre tread and evenness is advisable to ensure the current owner is maintaining proper tyre pressure and alignment. Finally, the fractured offside rear coil spring noted in 2023 should be verified as replaced to ensure the rear suspension integrity remains sound.
