Please can someone tell me if there is a design issue with the Mitsubishi Outlander?

We used to live on a poor track (dirt road), and every year without fail, we had to replace Anti-Roll Bar Links at our annual MOT. Last year I replaced both of the Front Lower Wishbones and the Anti Roll Bar links with expensive parts.

This year the MOT failed stating that the play in the ball joint on the passenger side was excessive. What's more, we have moved houses and our current l location is tarred roads only.

We are conservative drivers and don't do 4x4 driving, offroad or funny stuff.

Is it normal to replace the Anti-Roll-Bar every year and the ball joints every second year? Surely something not right?

Is there something else that could be causing excessive wear on these parts?

Vehicle make MITSUBISHI
Date of first registration June 2017
Year of manufacture 2017
Cylinder capacity 2268 cc
CO₂ emissions 139 g/km
Fuel type DIESEL

Many thanks

 

After 10.5 years of usage I replaced tie rod end ball joint in my Outlander 2.2DiD 2013. I don't drive off-road or mud. Only high-ways and some good but a little bumpy country roads, sometimes on the gravel.
Perhaps Outlander is not designed for rough or very dirty roads, or, maybe you are unlucky with quality of the parts.

One suggestion for you is to check wheel allignment (toe-in and camber) and generally revise whole suspension.
