2015 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric (clean) · VE15 BCY

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 95,594 miles passed, it introduced several new advisories that were absent in the previous year. The appearance of a split exhaust pipe at the bottom of the catalytic converter and a low coolant level indicates that the vehicle is beginning to require attention on mechanical and cooling systems, following a clean record seen in the 2025 inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between May 2025 at 90,135 miles and May 2026 at 95,594 miles, the car covered 5,459 miles, showing a steady rate of use. However, the lack of defects recorded in 2025 suggests a period of peak condition that has since been undermined by the emergence of wear-related issues and structural corrosion identified in the 2026 test. A buyer must prioritize a structural inspection of the rear sills, as the May 2026 test flagged corrosion on the rear inner vehicle structure. Although structural rigidity is currently maintained, rust on sills of this age often progresses rapidly if not treated. The brake history also shows a persistent pattern of thin pads and worn discs dating back 2022 through 2024. The previous report of a binding offside front brake in 2024 suggests a caliper may be sticking, which could explain the uneven disc wear observed. Immediate attention is required for the tyres, as the 2026 record notes both front tyres are near the legal limit with signs of perishing and edge wear. The frayed offside front seat belt, a recurring fault noted in 2024 and 2026, represents a safety concern that requires replacement. Additionally, the exhaust leak near the catalytic converter should be addressed to prevent further emission failures and potential damage to the exhaust manifold.
