I must disagree, Ive had a 2013 outlander for 5 going on 6 years and its never let me down once. The only "problem" is that for every mot I need new drop links, but I'm rural and travel a lot of green lanes. I'm not saying its the best car I've ever had, but honestly with a fsh and now just over 100k on the clock (50 when I bought it) it has never let me down.
Good on you Matt. Only problem is, I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from having not seen the Wondergrip van for ages now, along with the 'usual' car park. I bet if you bought that van, it could well be your highest viewed video! I can see it now - 'Bought A Cheap Wondergrip Van' - 900k views!
I had one of these, DVD player in the roof, sun roof, cruise control, built in subwoofer, touch screen stereo, unfortunately had a starting issue due to a DPF fault had to get rid of it in the end loved the outlander especially the split tailgate
I got new Outlander as a company car in 2010 we put a Chip on it from day one it went really well, had a turbo pipe go but apart from that it was a great car. I know they were not very popular but I really enjoyed driving it.
This is mad. I literally watched your facelift outlander video last night and you mentioned how you hated the old one.....now today you've bought one 😂😂
'Cataracty' (adjective). A word which describes vehicle headlamps when they become cloudy or opaque. Well done Matt. You've created a new word which is not yet in the Oxford English Dictionary, and we heard it here first!
I've had a 2013 2.2 litre diesel since 2014, its the new shape and it's been the best car I've had for reliability. Had an issue with the AC sorted under warranty and an issue with the handbrake sorted on a recall. Other than that I haven't had any issues other than normal maintenance, brake pads, tyres etc.
As the owner of a 2015 2.2 diesel model, I find it to be a mixed bag. It has terrible driving dynamics, ALL of the body roll, slow and sluggish and awful fuel economy, getting mid to high 30s on a decent run, high 20s round town, the interior just creaks and rattles everywhere and the paint is as thin as tracing paper. On the flip side, the seats are weirdly comfortable, the oem sound system is really decent, it can seat 7 if you cut the legs off the back 2 passengers, has a massive boot if you fold the back row, and can tow way more weight than its meant to. A very nice work vehicle capable of mild off-roading and load lugging in comfort, but very dull and dreary to drive...
Interestingly, this has the same engine as a Freelander 2 because Mitsubishi used the PSA 2.2 HDi, which JLR and Ford also used for a long time. So you were saying? 😂
It's a VW 2.0 lump same as a golf ect. The Peugeot and citroen have a 2.2hdi french engine. Very good cars and good on fuel as its selectable 4wd. Had one and did 200k trouble free miles
Matt , I had a C Crosser great car! I had no problems with it! Travelled from Aberdeen to Keighley many a time never missed a beat. Now have a Santa Fe Wiggins Edition, what a cyclist had to do with a car is beyond me.
This is like a throw and to the early days of reviewing a R-Class Merc in a big puddle in the woods! I do miss the Wonder Grip van though. Headlamp buff and some new plates and it’s an awful lot of car for £400!
Think you've done the right thing,rather than take a chance with 180,000 on it, you've recouped your money to plough into the next purchase,it did look tidy for them miles though,and seats looked mint.
Well dang Matt, I was thinking of looking you up when I decide to part with my fleet of 3 Outlanders! 1 x GX1 van, 1 x GX3 and 1 x GX4. 2011's and a 2012 - the facelift model of the one you have there. Previously had an 09 with the VW engine which was thirsty. I've not had the PSA engined 2.2, only the 2.3 Mitsubishi Mivec. The absolute 💩 we have given them defies the hatred! All have over 200k miles now and I struggle to kill them. The '11 GX1 has 235k miles and has been absolutely ragged. 1/2 tonne tractor weights in the front foot well, on its arse with weight in the back, up steep muddy tracks, over stumps. They eat track rod ends - £13ea. Overall, good on fuel (always 40+mpg), like I said tough, tow very well, plenty of power, brilliant tailgate system, superb Rockford Fosgate stereo with hard drive. Been very very cheap motoring. I'm sure I've peaked your interest 😂
Some people seem to love the Mitsubishi version and consider it reliable. But others disagree and you don't like them - Why? Are there some specific and very expensive issues? Parts problems etc?
I'd looked at buying one of the several manufacturers variants of this and every single one had MOT complaints of rusty cross members and or subframes along with everything under the body .... Avoided them like the plague and bought a Skoda Superb instead
Ive added Taras / Ukraine to my High peaks bingo game. Ending for this car. but only Mini valet and brought part of package on tonights bingo card was disappointing.🤪🤪
Great that it’s helping a good cause. Is the Mitsubishi a better buy because of a Japanese badge? The Peugeot/Citroen versions are tainted with French “reliability “ issues even though they are the same car built in the same factory.
Hi so what list of cars have the same engine in them as can be a mined field, when it come to changing your car ,🤔 even with Bentley/ is it Bentley engine or not 🤔,must say your videos are so informative love em .My first car was a 1951 ford pop ,my dad bought it off someone at his work £40 ,had more than 40 quids of pleasure out of it ,cheers matey.Ced🚙
Thought you might have traded it on - bound to sell in your rural neck of the woods. Surprised you didn't rip off that awful chrome trip on the older headlamp.
again....why is this so cheap??? in my country this car is at least 5k...the mileage is high but not that high, labor in my country is as expensive as in uk...i just don't get it...
I live on the mainland and even old high mileage cars are expensive, because they are LHD so they can be exported to poorer countries e.g. in the Balkans.
Matt. You start the video saying you detest Mitsu Outlanders. And then you keep saying the car is all right, it runs well, does the job well, such a lot of car for the money, and the like. Now, tell me, what is wrong with this car? IMHO these were one of the best looking SUVs back in 2008, they still look all right, have some real - even if modest - off road potentials, they are roomy, practical, economical... So what is it exactly that makes you detest them?
Hi Matt this is a great shame I'm looking for one of these and id happily pay you more myself and use it here in the UK , you'd then make some profit, have a think and get back to me 😎👍
@@paulie-Gualtieri. all our housing and money in Ireland is gone to Ukrainians and we are being treated like 2nd class citizens it’s a real shame we have 13 thousand Irish homeless and Ukrainians come here get free hosue snd 280 per week and aloud keep their benefits and work they ago get food vouchers and never have to tax or insure their cars amazing
The guy in France was me. Taras is a top bloke.
Thank you! All the best!
Now this is what I needed today!
Ukraine
Pornbot !!
I bought an Outlander 2.4 auto years ago and it is one of the most reliable vehicles so far we have had.

Great car .Had one from 2009-2010,got me through shocking winters.
A very noble gesture, Matt, keep up the good work!
Finaly a Car Vertical add I don't have to rewind. That is how is done. Short, sweet, precise. Well done.
Nice gesture Matt hope you included the mix cd for the Ukraine trip
I had one of these, DVD player in the roof, sun roof, cruise control, built in subwoofer, touch screen stereo, unfortunately had a starting issue due to a DPF fault had to get rid of it in the end loved the outlander especially the split tailgate
Good man, good outcome. This was a positive video and the right thing to do!

I reckon all the folks having trouble with them must be right vandals

Things no one should ever say "I only paid £400 for it, so I cant go wrong" .....😂😂
Has the world’s smallest fuel tank!
Still more reliable than JLR!
Totally agree. JLR's are well overrated and unreliable. Only fit for the Cheshire school run mummies! 😜
😂
Interestingly, this has the same engine as a Freelander 2 because Mitsubishi used the PSA 2.2 HDi, which JLR and Ford also used for a long time. So you were saying? 😂
Honestly, this content made my day!
Pornbot !!
Having seen some of your other Ukraine bound vehicles my thought was that’s where this should go then you suggested it.
Excellent!!
Love these videos
Had a 2.2 6spd, tuned. Was boring as a Monday morning, but quick, economical, and with a lot of space
Excellent outcome.
Fair play , good cause 👍🏻
I think that car will last longer than expected Matt
It's a VW 2.0 lump same as a golf ect. The Peugeot and citroen have a 2.2hdi french engine. Very good cars and good on fuel as its selectable 4wd. Had one and did 200k trouble free miles
🇬🇧 Hullo Matt;
Cross Dresser hahahahaha Hysterical. You're a fool hahahahaha Cheers Mate
Shaun🦉 of NYC🗽
Well done Matt.I imagine it could be of good use to the Ukraine fighters too, being 4 wheel drive.
Matt , I had a C Crosser great car! I had no problems with it! Travelled from Aberdeen to Keighley many a time never missed a beat. Now have a Santa Fe Wiggins Edition, what a cyclist had to do with a car is beyond me.
very kind matt
welcome back mate
Could not agree more, had one as a holiday rental once, what an abject heap of do do it was.
Well done mate you are doing the right thing you care and have a massive heart ❤lovely person matt.❤
Well done Matt that is a great decision.
4:09 where are the legs meant to go?! 🤔😂 “comfortable”
Genuinely not see one in years Matt nice looking cars as it happens.
Well done!!
Fair play to you Matt! You’re a good egg old son 👏🏻👍🏻
Excellent--that will do a good job--nice one Matt.
We need the second part of the garage, tell them to hurry up. I want to see the new look 😅
really nice of u for doing that
This is like a throw and to the early days of reviewing a R-Class Merc in a big puddle in the woods! I do miss the Wonder Grip van though. Headlamp buff and some new plates and it’s an awful lot of car for £400!
If it was an auto i would really be interested in it. I am looking for this one/rav4/cr-v auto at the moment.
Hahaha Matt😂 hilarious those packagedeals you are offered daily and that they add a 'pain in the *ss' car too to get rid of it. Cheers!🎉
Think you've done the right thing,rather than take a chance with 180,000 on it, you've recouped your money to plough into the next purchase,it did look tidy for them miles though,and seats looked mint.
After watching a video last night on car cloning. Car Vertical is useless.

Good evening matt
If the 4x4 works and it is generally ok, you would still sell it in Andalusia for 2-3k euros even with the wheel on the right.

Aw no.
I really like these. 😂
It would be very interesting knowing after some years what happened to those vehicles that went to Ukraine
Well Done Matt (:
Good man you are Matt😊
Well done Mat :-)
All for a good cause, far better than spending a lot of money on it only for it
to bounce back, with 172k miles it is certainly proved it'self.
Rewind the odometer back to 90k miles or so, and sell it for 4k £, like they do in eastern Europe, especially in Romania😂
Not a bad car, but it's not my spec of choice. I'd go for the petrol V6 with the automatic transmission.
Great that it’s helping a good cause. Is the Mitsubishi a better buy because of a Japanese badge? The Peugeot/Citroen versions are tainted with French “reliability “ issues even though they are the same car built in the same factory.
rumour has it - different wiring.
Perfect solution.
Matt, you are a proper 'mentsch' ❤️🇺🇦🇮🇱🇬🇧

Lovely "Jeep" for the Do What You Likeys. Bonus ball £20 a pop chief?
Another great entertaining video Matt. Love the narrative and agree with the summation it’s a crap car 👌👍
Like to see cars going over to gaze too
you should definitely buy 3 more and make 5 good ones out of the parts
older Mitsubishi's besides the Lancer are pretty terrible, but the 2017 Outlander is pretty reliable.
7:45 looks like an n3p CD mix tape
mini valet then sell for 750 pounds
Thought you might have traded it on - bound to sell in your rural neck of the woods. Surprised you didn't rip off that awful chrome trip on the older headlamp.
Use it as your camera car
Hopefully the number plates are removed as you've just advertised where it's going to end up.
Good man
It's called aircross, Matt 😊
Cheap is something you don't want at a price you can afford.
Would have liked to know the rust issue. Gone to a good cause though. 👍👍
again....why is this so cheap??? in my country this car is at least 5k...the mileage is high but not that high, labor in my country is as expensive as in uk...i just don't get it...
Because it’s right hand drive
Because its old and high mileage
I live on the mainland and even old high mileage cars are expensive, because they are LHD so they can be exported to poorer countries e.g. in the Balkans.

Thank you for supporting Ukraine. 💙💛
Matt I'd service it mot it and send it Ukraine. Its a good buy.
You barely see any of them here in the States because they’re hot garbage
They're garbage here in the UK .... Rot away as quick as you look at them, the subframes and underbody simply disappear
It's more popular in third world countries, relatively cheap transportation
US buyers prefer domestic hot garbage ...
What would i do……. I would stop buying cars with over 100k miles. When u tart the garage up also go for lower mileage stock in the long run…..
To Ukraine, but do the discs, and fettle it
A few quid for your mate then when he sells the car on for a profit
Well done you! 🇺🇦
Fantastic
Great gesture on your part. We need to help the Ukrainians.
I thought you might be doing a gangster style execution on it 😂 … then bury it in the forest 🤢
Very cool
citroen c crosser, peugeot 4007. i have the citroen. not that interesting and some really odd design choices but been ok last 4 yrs
You can't go wrong with mitsubishi..... always well made and bulletproof!!!! That'll surely be tested now in Ukraine 😂
Ukraine sounds a good idea Matt
Oh no scrapping a Volvo.Don,t tell Geoff.
Giving free stuff to Ukrainian grifters is just as bad.
Hi Matt this is a great shame I'm looking for one of these and id happily pay you more myself and use it here in the UK , you'd then make some profit, have a think and get back to me 😎👍
£550 sold as seen 👍
Good cause👍👍👍
I’d donate it to Russia 🇷🇺
Quite frankly, I'm getting fed up with our money going to the Ukraine.
