Insight summary

Mitsubishi Outlander is an uncommon model in this snapshot, with 59,367 represented vehicles and 0.14% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 81.0% from 419,746 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 51. The current pool shows an average of 96,003 miles and an average age of 10.1 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 109,300 miles. Hybrid electric leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, track rod ends and lighting. The practical read is that the Mitsubishi Outlander looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
