2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · SH64 KWW

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of reactive mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 172,431 miles, this followed a significant failure just one month prior. The November 2025 failure identified critical safety defects across the hydraulic braking system, including leaking pipes and excessive corrosion alongside binding calipers. The fact that the vehicle failed on multiple brake-related points suggests that the previous owner only addressed repairs when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 172,431 miles over twelve years, this Outlander has covered a high average distance of approximately 14,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, heavy usage, with nearly 13,000 miles recorded between October 2023 and November 2024. This high mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The recurring nature of exhaust mounting issues and anti-roll bar ball joints indicates that the vehicle is reaching a stage where age-related wear is accelerating due to the mileage of various rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the November 2025 failures were fully rectified rather than merely patched. The record of excessive corrosion on the rear brake pipes is a red flag for environmental damage that could lead to future structural failures. Furthermore, inspect the offside front inner drive shaft boot, which was flagged as severely deteriorated in late 2025, to ensure no grease has escaped from the CV joint. Given the history of binding brakes and worn exhaust mounts, the overall condition of the undercarriage and the structural integrity of the braking lines require close scrutiny.
