MITSUBISHI L2002006 · 2.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear improving trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 119,028 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This transition from multiple advis and faults in earlier years to a clean test sheet suggests that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a high standard of compliance. At 119,028 miles, this 20-year-old Mitsubishi averages a low of approximately 5,951 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage with intervals of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between each annual test from 2021 through 2025. This low mileage profile typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-use vehicles are often more susceptible to degradation of rubber components and accelerated corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the braking system and chassis due to recurring issues in the past. The 2021 and 2022 tests flagged corroded brake pipes across the vehicle, which were further obscured by grease. While the recent tests are clean, a buyer must verify that these pipes were actually replaced with new copper or steel lines rather than merely cleaned or treated. Additionally, the worn anti-roll bar bush noted in 2021 warrants a thorough check of the front suspension bushings and links to ensure no new play has developed. The minor oil leak recorded in November 2023 at 107,618 miles should also be monitored. Although the tester deemed it non-excessive at the time, leaks on a vehicle of this age can indicate aging gaskets or oil seals. Given the age of the truck, inspecting the structural integrity of the underbody for deep-seated corrosion remains a priority, as the MOT record does not detail the state of surface rust beyond what constitutes a failure.
