Mitsubishi has announced an extension of its 2017 UK scrappage scheme that will see the programme run until March 2018. 

The scheme was originally due to finish in December 2017, but due to popular demand, the offer will run for another two months. Additionally, customers can now save £5,000 on a new diesel Outlander — up from the original £3,500 discount.
