2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · SW15 PPF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend regarding suspension-related components. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 77,698 miles passed, it followed a failure due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. The fact that the anti-roll bar linkage remained an advisory from the failure through to the pass indicates that certain suspension parts are reaching the end of their functional life and require proactive replacement. At 77,698 miles over eleven years, the Outlander averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-to-mid range usage patterns. The mileage data shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 6,800 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 6,600 miles in the year prior that. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme stress, though the age of the rubber components and metal fatigue is evident despite the relatively low odometer mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically focusing on the anti-roll bar bushes and linkages which have appeared in every record since 2023. The recurring failure of the anti-roll bar components suggests the owner may only be addressing faults rather than performing preventative maintenance. Given the fractured coil spring noted in 2025, check for signs of heavy corrosion on the remaining springs and the mounting points, as these are common areas of structural failure on vehicles of this age and weight.
