The MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER (2004-07) 5DR STATION WAGON 2.4 SPORT AUTO4 is a family SUV, a practical alternative to a conventional hatchback, with a raised driving position and useful cabin space. In the UK market, it sits among value-focused early SUVs rather than newer crossovers, for budget-minded used-car buyers. mycarcheck.com records 46 look-ups covering 25 different vehicles, offering a useful snapshot rather than a complete picture. The cars checked averaged 99,000 miles and around 5,000 miles a year, with just over four previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation was £1,000, so condition, service history and a careful inspection matter especially at this age. Its automatic gearbox and roomy shape suit families needing an easy-going car for errands and longer journeys. Rivals include the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan X-Trail. This older 2.4-litre petrol SUV is less economical than many newer alternatives, so check condition and upkeep carefully before you buy.
