2020 Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed CVT 2.0L Petrol · WM69 MXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred attention regarding consumable components. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 99,335 miles passed, the tester flagged worn and pitted rear brake discs alongside thin inner brake pads. This represents a regression from the clean record in 2024, suggesting that the high rate of use is now pushing the braking system toward the end of its service life between intervals. The mileage profile is aggressive for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 16,500 miles per year. A significant surge in use occurred between May 2024 and June 2025, where the car covered approximately 25,000 miles in just a 13-month period. This rapid rapid accumulation puts considerable strain on the CVT gearbox, suspension bushings, and steering components. The 2023 test at 55,109 miles already highlighted uneven tyre wear and cuts on multiple tyres, which often correlates with high-mileage motorway driving or neglected alignment settings. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry to ensure the high mileage has not caused premature failure of the control arms or bushes. Given the pitted brake discs noted in 2025, the brake calipers should be checked for binding or seized pistons which could have accelerated the uneven wear of the pads. The CVT fluid condition should also be verified, as the 100,000-mile threshold is a critical juncture for this drivetrain to prevent internal mechanical failure.
