2017 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · WF17 OFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the latest test in April 2026 at 134,539 miles passed, the tester identified thin rear brake pads and an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. This mirrors a pattern seen in March 2023 where rear pads were also flagged, suggesting that the owner only addresses braking components once they approach a failure threshold during the MOT interval. The mileage profile is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 and April 2026, the Outland covered 38,102 miles, indicating consistent long-distance use. The de-fail in March 2024 at 118,825 miles due to front brake pads being below 1.5mm confirms that the high mileage is placing significant demand on consumable components, though the vehicle appears to have been maintained well between these annual inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system. The recurring issues with thin pads and uneven tyre wear on the offside rear indicate potential alignment issues or sticking brake calipers that require investigation. Given the high mileage and age, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shocks is critical, as these components often suffer accelerated degradation under heavy annual cycles. Checking the chassis for corrosion is also essential to ensure high-mileage usage has not compromised structural integrity over time.
