2020 MITSUBISHI L200 TROJAN DI-D2.3L Diesel

The Mitsubishi L200 Trojan passed its most recent MOT on 29 April 2025 at 79,851 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available record reads as broadly stable. The clean pass follows a failed attempt on 28 April 2025 at the same mileage with no defects listed, a pattern repeated on 23 September 2024 when a fail with no recorded defects preceded a same-day pass at 74,482 miles. These back-to-back fail-pass entries suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay. At roughly six years old the vehicle shows 79,851 miles, an average of about 13,308 miles per year and high for its age. The record jumps from 47,887 miles at the 8 September 2023 test to 74,482 miles by 23 September 2024, adding over 26,000 miles in twelve months, then only 5,369 miles to April 2025. That early-life low use followed by a heavy annual load points to a period of standing followed by demanding commercial or towing duty typical of the L200 pick-up class. Because every test outcome carries no defects or advisories, the DVSA data alone flags no corrosion, worn suspension bushes, binding calipers, or exhaust faults for the buyer to chase. The repeated no-defect fails remain unexplained by the record and warrant a check of the original failure reasons with DVSA to rule out omitted advisories or test station error. In person, a buyer should still scrutinise structural integrity beneath the chassis and load bed, confirm brake disc thickness and tyre condition after the high-mileage year, and verify the 2024 and 2025 fail causes despite the clean passes. The sparse, clean history offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep, but the mileage profile justifies a hands-on inspection of drivetrain and suspension wear.
