Mitsubishi Outlander buying guide (Ireland, 2026)
What a used Mitsubishi Outlander costs in Ireland, how it does at the NCT, what goes wrong and what it costs to fix. Based on 223 for sale right now.
Our take on the Mitsubishi Outlander
A 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander typically advertises at €39,950 and a 2018 one at €17,950, so it loses roughly 15% of its value a year at that age, faster than most cars. Most for sale are hybrids (81%); diesels are 17%. At the NCT, the 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 cars fail more often than other cars the same year, so a fresh NCT is worth paying a little more for. The 2.4 hybrid is the most common engine (55% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 300k km.

Common Mitsubishi Outlander problems
Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.
Timing belt history · €350–€700
Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.
Automatic gearbox health · €300–€2,500
Make sure the gear changes are smooth when warm, check for a gearbox warning light and ask if the gearbox oil was ever changed.
Engines and how long they last
| Engine | Usually lasts | Motor tax / year | For sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4 Hybrid | ~300k km | ~€270 | 86 |
| 2.0 Hybrid | ~300k km | ~€270 | 44 |
| 2.3 Diesel | ~320k km | ~€600 | 15 |
| 2.2 Diesel | ~320k km | ~€600 | 12 |
"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.
