2006 Mitsubishi L200 Double CAB 2.5L Diesel · KP56 AAO

The most recent MOT test from October 2022 at 98,491 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This continues an unbroken pattern of clear passes stretching back through 2021 and 2019. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, with no mechanical or structural issues flagged by testers across the available history. A single failure in March 2019 at 92,337 miles is recorded, though no specific defect is listed in the supplied data, and the vehicle passed a retest just eight days later. The mileage history reveals a vehicle used sparingly. Between March 2017 and March 2019 the truck covered roughly 9,800 miles over two years, a rate consistent with light domestic or agricultural use. A longer gap then appears from March 2019 to October 2021, with only 5,300 miles added across two and a half years. The final recorded year to October 2022 saw just 735 miles. These extended periods of low activity and a current recorded total of 98,491 miles on a twenty-year-old chassis suggest the vehicle has spent significant time standing. A buyer should verify the current odometer reading, as the last test is now nearly four years old. The MOT record is notably sparse and clean, offering no direct evidence of worn suspension bushes, corroded brake pipes, or structural rust. For a vehicle of this age and type, the absence of advisories across multiple tests is unusual and may reflect diligent maintenance, or simply a limited number of inspections. A physical check must now focus on age-related deterioration that may have developed since 2022. Particular attention should go to the condition of the ladder-frame chassis, rear leaf spring mounts, and brake lines for corrosion, as well as perished rubber components from prolonged standing. The lack of any emissions or brake balance failures is positive, but a thorough cold-start test and underbody inspection remain essential.
