2018 Mitsubishi L200 Warrior DI-D Heavy oil · AYZ 5009

The Mitsubishi L200 Warrior presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 29 September 2025 at 73,866 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Across the four subsequent annual tests from October 2022 to September 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without advisories, indicating consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 9,200 miles per year. The records show a steady annual accumulation: 51,497 miles in October 2022, 59,947 in October 2023, 66,537 in October 2024, and 73,866 by September 2025. A minor anomaly appears in early October 2022, where a failure was logged at 51,364 miles on 4 October 2022, followed five days later by a pass at 51,497 miles; the failure carried no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring rectification. Given the absence of flagged advisories across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT history implies the previous keeper addressed wear proactively. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody structural integrity and chassis members, as pickups of this era are prone to hidden rust where salt exposure occurs. Verify the front suspension ball joints and rear leaf spring mounts for fatigue not always captured in a static test. The clean advisory sheet offers reassurance, but the 2022 failure with no defects warrants confirmation the logbook and test certificate reflect a genuine compliance issue rather than clerical error. Otherwise, the L200 sits in strong mechanical condition for its age and mileage.
