Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. While the mileage is reasonable for its age, a recurring pattern of chassis and sub-frame corrosion makes this a high-risk purchase.
The primary concern with this specific vehicle is the structural corrosion. You must verify if any remedial treatment or undersealing has been performed, as the MOT history repeatedly flags the sub-frames and body structure as corroded. Negotiate the price downward to account for the likelihood that these 'not seriously weakened' advisories will eventually become failures requiring expensive welding or replacement.
Check the service history specifically for timing belt replacements and diesel particulate filter (DPF) maintenance, which are critical for the 2.2L diesel engine. Ensure all the suspension work flagged in the May 2026 MOT (such as the coil springs and anti-roll bar linkages) has been professionally completed and invoiced.
The 2.2L diesel engine offers a balance of torque and efficiency for a large SUV, though tax bands for 2013 models can be higher than modern equivalents. Insurance will likely fall into a mid-range group, but maintenance costs are expected to be above average due to the documented rust issues.
Annual costs will be driven heavily by the need for preventative chassis care. Between fuel, road tax, insurance, and the anticipated need for suspension and corrosion repairs, the yearly upkeep will be significant.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside. The MOT history from 2024, 2025, and 2026 consistently mentions corrosion of the front and rear sub-frames, as well as the integral body structure (6.1.1 (c) (i)). Use a torch to check for flaking metal or deep pitting in these areas.
Additionally, inspect the rear suspension and braking system. The vehicle has a history of fractured coil springs and parking brake efficiency issues (1.4.2 (a) (i)), so ensure the handbrake feels firm and there are no unusual knocks from the rear axle during a test drive.
This silver 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander diesel has covered 96,490 miles. The MOT history reveals a persistent and concerning trend of corrosion across the front sub-frame, rear sub-frame, and integral body structure. Recent failures in 2026 also highlight issues with suspension components and braking systems, suggesting a vehicle that is beginning to struggle with age and wear.
Specific aggregate data is unavailable, but this individual vehicle shows a vulnerability to chassis corrosion in the UK climate.
