Hi, are the Mitsubishi Outlanders SUVs with 7 seats really reliable family suv even for the use ones like in 2010 over 100,000 miles?
I would pass on those after 100,000 miles.
It depends,
Most had TERRIBLE transmission.
The CVT ones (about 90% of all Outlanders) had the same nasty Jatco as Nissans of the era,
The DCT ones had a wet PowerShift, and they’re way too heavy for it. As a result, failures are super common. Additionally, at the time Mitsubishi didn’t explicitly require oil changes for the DCT so mechatronic issues are also common and those super expensive to remedy (if you’re unlucky, a mechatronic alone can end up being $3k+)
it’s only good with a conventional automatic (or a manual) but those are very rare!
As far as the engines, if serviced properly (frequent oil changes and valve clearance adjustments on petrols) and if they do not burn oil at the time of purchase - it should last long for a very long time.
Also it shares a platform with the old Jeep Compass...
and this HIDEOUS Peugeot!
Which had a sister-car named "Citroën C-Crosser", both were mechanically IDENTICAL to the Outlander (with a DCT).
NOTE THAT: Neither the Compass nor the 4007 were known for reliability, as a matter of fact both are considered crappy.
And the Outlander is likely to have the same issues as these, unless it has the super rare reliable transmissions.

A Toyota / Honda of the era out is a much better choice than this Mitsubishi - Fiat Chrysler - Peugeot Citroen... 'creation'.
Hi,
Are new mitsubishi outlanders not the sport okay to buy, along with the one that were from 2014 or 15-20?
