2017 MITSUBISHI L2002.4L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 18 March 2026, confirming its roadworthiness as of the most recent inspection. The maintenance record appears exceptionally clean, with four consecutive annual passes showing no recorded defects or advisories. This trend indicates a consistent standard of upkeep, suggesting that previous owners addressed necessary repairs before presenting the vehicle for testing. While the March 2026 test initially resulted in a failure just one week prior to the final pass, the absence of specific defect data suggests this was likely a minor administrative or equipment-related issue rather than a mechanical failure. With a total of 168,658 miles accumulated over nine years, the vehicle has covered approximately 18,740 miles annually. This high-mileage profile is typical for a commercial vehicle of this class, reflecting heavy usage rather than short, stop-start city driving. The steady accumulation of roughly 16,000 to 18,000 miles per year across the provided history confirms the vehicle has remained in active, regular service. Such consistent use often prevents the issues associated with long-term storage, though it necessitates a thorough assessment of high-wear drivetrain and suspension components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components that typically endure the most stress under high-mileage conditions. Despite the clean MOT history, pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and shock absorbers, as these parts often require replacement at this mileage. Inspect the chassis and underbody for signs of structural corrosion, which can be masked by underseal or surface grime. Verify the operation of the four-wheel-drive system and check for any play in the drivetrain or transmission, as the high mileage suggests these mechanical systems have seen significant duty. While the MOT record is encouraging, it does not replace a comprehensive check of the engine bay for fluid leaks or signs of neglect that do not necessarily trigger an MOT failure.
