2011 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2L Diesel · WN60 HRA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension-related components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 118,825 miles passed, it identified severely deteriorated dust covers on both front nearside and offside ball joints. This follows a progression of minor play in anti-roll bar linkages noted in 2023 and 2024, indicating that the suspension assembly is reaching the end of its operational life. At 118,825 miles over 15 years, the Outlander averages approximately 7,900 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual mileage increases, with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles recorded between each annual test since 2022. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, though the age age explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces despite the moderate mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The recurring reports of pitted and scored brake discs in 2022 and 2023, alongside a binding offside front brake noted in 2025, suggest the calipers or rotors are seizing and require immediate attention. Furthermore, the surface corrosion noted across the entire vehicle in 2022 warrants a physical check to ensure that surface rust has not progressed into structural decay on the chassis or subframe. The severely deteriorated ball joint covers identified in the latest test require immediate replacement to prevent grease leakage and subsequent joint failure.
