2009 MITSUBISHI L2002.5L Diesel

The Mitsubishi L200 passed its most recent MOT on 25 February 2025 at 234,365 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with clean passes in March 2023 at 216,916 miles and March 2024 at 222,250 miles following a single failure on 27 February 2024 that carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor issue rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 17 years old the vehicle shows 234,365 recorded miles, an average of about 13,786 miles per year and high for its age. Mileage moved from 216,916 in March 2023 to 222,250 by February 2024, then to 234,365 by February 2025, a steady annual accumulation near the long-term average with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA history is sparse, showing only four entries, so the clean results give limited insight into consumable or structural condition between tests. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear given the high mileage and age of the chassis. The L200's ladder-frame structure demands a close check for corrosion at chassis rails and mounting points, as MOT passes with no advisories do not confirm absence of developing rust. Given the February 2024 failure with no defects logged, verify the test centre's rationale and confirm the V5C matches the mileage sequence. Prior owners kept the truck tested annually, but the sparse record means in-person scrutiny of drivetrain and underbody is essential before purchase.
