107,000kms on my 2012 Mn.
Hasn't had any over heating issues and is still running stock suspension which handles fine. No leaking shocks.
95% highway kms it's whole life.

I bought it just before 90,000kms and have the full history as it was a council car.

31 000km on my 2014 MN
Just got back from Wonnangatta in slippery conditions and no dramas.
I did North Queensland, Northern Territory and Arnhem Land last year and all good.
Lots of mods on my rig done after 1000kms Great tourer.
Love it more than my GU wagon which never gave me any grief.

It's a keeper

MN 2009 my10 GLX 125000k, Cooling system campaign at 90000, Towing caravan, camper, boat and large trailer regularly... scanguage and dont think has ever been over 96c...
Had 2nd gear syncro and manifolds under warranty but thats pretty common in these early ones I believe...
Standard suspension still measures up corrrect height, replaced shocks with heavy Monroe, no leaks but horrible pogo sticks...
Hope to keep awhile longer as it has taken me to pretty awesome places
You get what you pay for... thats if your lucky!!

MN 2010 MY11 GLX-R 125k on the clock, have had the 2nd gear syncro done early on and also the cooling campaign done.

The only issue that I have now is that it needs new floor and roof harness'.

Also the car is far from stock.

Approaching 100000km's. No issues.
The voices in my head may not be real, but they do have some damned good ideas.

If it's feral, it's in peril.

MN turbo lag? What lag??

2009 MN GLXR.
Turbo replaced at 127000km, probably because the guy I bought it from had been using a Roo Systems chip.

Block machined due to coolant loss + new radiator + water pump at 171000 km.

Bit more info in the Cooling Service Campaign thread p53 viewtopic.php?f=22&t=17446&start=1300

I'd been lazy and hadn't checked coolant so at the ~160,000 km service the dealer pointed out that the coolant level was very low and said it was highly likely there was some block damage. I wasn't convinced so I drove it for another 10,000km and topped it up as required to see how much it was using. Used roughly a litre over that time so I bit the bullet.

According to the dealer Mitsubishi NZ were replacing blocks but are now machining the top of the block instead as they're confident that will fix the problem. The thickest available gasket is used to compensate for the lost material. I didn't see the block and don't have photos but the service manager says there was a visible channel between the #3 cylinder and the water jacket.


My assumption is that the damage on my motor wasn't that bad compared to some because it was going through a little coolant regularly rather than blowing it all out at once and cooking itself.

I've done ~20000 km since the block was machined with no coolant loss.

Sorry can't post no issues, new full engine long motor & 60K, Synchro in third @ 65K. Now going through the pain of the second engine @90K. Lucky they have 10year drive train warranty.
Turbo replaced @ approx. 30K

I think the engine issues are due to viscous coupling on the fans & the internal thermostat.

2015 MN GLXR Warrior Manual. Totally bog stock standard. Just about to clock over to 300k. Cannot remember stealer telling me about cooling campaign. Replaced clutch at 270k. Did 13k recently driving to WA & back with 2 weeks of touring over there. It has not had an easy life - I drive it like I stole it. Wife keeps telling me it is not a race car. So did the cop who pulled me over for 143 in a 100 zone. :shock: Never had an issue till last night when it threw a CEL, lost cruise and ATC and most power. Might be time to clean the inlet manifold.

2009 glxr, 306000klms. Original clutch did 295thou, has only started to get interior rattles now. Its had a reasonable life, work use, farm, towing, bush, camping, kids, dogs etc.

Aside from chewing front hub bearings every 50thou its a solid bus, will get 750k to a tank regularly.

2015 GLX + 160,000 k's when the turbo failed which led to engine failure. There were no indications of any issues with the engine or the turbo prior to it failing.
Replaceed the engine with a similar vintage second hand one with 150,000 k's and it turned out to be a much better engine over all. Somewhat quieter and livelier than the old engine was.
