2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.3L Diesel · SW65 EJZ

The vehicle maintains a functional roadworthiness status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to minor preventative wear. The most recent test in October 2025 at 87,255 miles passed with only an advisory for an offside track rod end ball joint with slight play. This represents an improvement over the 2023 failure where the vehicle was flagged for exhaust leaks and brake pipe corrosion, suggesting that those significant mechanical defects were addressed by the owner following that failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 57,025 miles and October 2024 at 81,245 miles, the car covered 24,220 miles, indicating a higher usage period of 12,000 miles per annum during that window. There is no evidence of long periods of standing which often lead to degradation of rubber components or brake seals, despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry. The history shows recurring issues with brake pipe corrosion between 2022 and 2023, followed by thin rear brake pads in 2024; you should verify that the brake lines were replaced or treated rather than merely cleaned. The advisory for the track rod end in 2025, combined with previous reports of worn anti-roll bar bushes in 2022, indicates the suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their life. Checking for further play in the steering linkage is necessary to ensure the wear has not progressed beyond the recorded advisory level.
