What to check before buying a 2019 Outlander Exceed Cvt
Before buying a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Exceed Cvt, focus on the areas it most often fails on. Visibility accounted for 3.7% of tests for this year.

- Tyres (3.7% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Brakes (2.9% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
