About the 2018 CAN-AM OUTLANDER

With an average of 4,337 miles at 6 years old, CAN-AM OUTLANDER owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

The modest 976cc petrol engine keeps fuel costs low, which is a real advantage for a city car. Expect around 50 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £955 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).

Buying a Used 2018 CAN-AM OUTLANDER
At 6 years old, the CAN-AM OUTLANDER offers good value with plenty of life remaining. Most manufacturer warranties will have expired, so a pre-purchase inspection is worth the cost. Note: with only 51 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
