2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 2.0L Hybrid electric · YY64 VMH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recent decline in proactive upkeep. While the car passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 91,666 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to significant mechanical wear. The failure on worn front and rear brake discs, alongside a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, suggests that the previous owner neglected routine service-related inspections until components reached the point of legal failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between October 2022 and November 2024, the car covered relatively low distances, moving from 87,207 to 90,699 miles without any recorded defects. However, the jump of nearly 1,000 miles between November 2024 and October 2025 coincides with the appearance of major faults, indicating that while the annual mileage is low, components are reaching the end of their service life at this stage. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the failed discs were replaced with high-quality parts and that the calipers are not seizing. Given the previous failure of the anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, the inspector should check all rubber boots across the suspension assembly for tearing, cracking, or grease leakage. The offside rear light housing also requires a check for structural integrity of the lens to prevent future moisture ingress, despite the bulbs functioning correctly.
