Verdict
Back in France at the end of 2024, offered only as a plug-in hybrid (2.4 petrol and two electric motors, 306 hp, 22.7 kWh battery). Very recent model: little track record on reliability, and no Euro NCAP rating could be found. A software recall for the multimedia screen (reversing camera) has been issued in Canada and the United States.

Known faults
Frozen multimedia screen and reversing camera (software recall)
Manufacturer recallThe multimedia screen can freeze or go black, and the reversing camera image may no longer display; the fix is a software update at the dealer. Recall issued in Canada (Outlander PHEV 2023 to 2025) and in the United States; we have not found a confirmed equivalent recall for France: check with the serial number.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

Inspection checklist
Mitsubishi Outlander IV — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Check open recalls and the multimedia software update (reversing camera) using the serial number.
- Test the multimedia screen and reversing camera: no freezing or black screen.
- Ask for the charging history and check the condition of the traction battery.
- Check that the service book and manufacturer warranty are up to date.
Questions to ask the seller
- Have the recalls and software updates been carried out at Mitsubishi?
- Have you had any freezing of the multimedia screen or the reversing camera?
- Was the vehicle charged regularly, and on what type of charger?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
