2011 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2L Diesel · YY61 GVV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 156,000 miles passed, it carried over advisories for corroded rear brake pipes covered in grease. This specific issue first appeared in the June 2024 test at 146,372 miles, showing that the owner has neglected to address advancing corrosion on these lines despite repeated warnings. The recorded mileage of 156,000 miles over 15 years reflects an annual average of approximately 10,400 miles, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 10,400 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which is generally preferable for maintaining seals and rubber components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The 2024 record flagged a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush, while the 2022 test noted uneven tyre wear across both front axles, suggesting persistent alignment issues or worn geometry components. The recurring mention of corroded brake pipes is a significant concern; the buyer should verify if these pipes were actually replaced or if the corrosion is spreading, which could lead to catastrophic hydraulic failure. Attention should also be paid to the offside rear seat belt, which was flagged as frayed in both 2023 and 2024. The fluctuating nearside service brake noted in 2023 indicates potentially warped or worn-out brake discs, which should be checked for thickness and condition to ensure they are not nearing their limit. Given the high mileage and the history of deferred minor repairs, the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the underbody require close scrutiny for hidden rust.
