2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · SD64 DGO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect records to reactive maintenance. In the December 2025 test at 136,683 miles, the car passed despite advisories for a minor central exhaust gas leak and thinning offside rear brake pads. This follows a period of clean records in late 2024 and late 2023, suggesting the vehicle is now entering a phase where aged components and wear items require proactive attention. The mileage progression is consistent with a twelve-year-old Japanese SUV, averaging approximately 11,400 miles per annum. Between November 2022 and December 2025, the vehicle covered 31,713 miles, representing a steady usage pattern without significant periods of inactivity. The failure in November 2022 at 104,970 miles, which was due to multiple tyre-related defects including uneven edge wear and structural cord damage, indicates a specific instance where the owner neglected basic consumable checks. However, these issues appear to have been resolved given the subsequent passing results. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the exhaust system to determine the extent of the leak noted in the 2025 record, as minor leaks can escalate into structural corrosion of the manifold if left ignored. The offside rear brake system requires immediate monitoring to ensure the caliper is not binding and the pads are replaced before reaching the wear limit. Given the previous history of uneven tyre wear in 2022, a check of the suspension geometry and ball joints is necessary to ensure that alignment issues are not causing premature degradation of the new tyres.
