1999 Mitsubishi L300 2.0L Petrol · T299 NBL

The most recent MOT on 2024-04-22 showed no defects, with the vehicle recorded at 128,051 miles. This suggests the car passed without immediate safety concerns, but the absence of recorded defects does not confirm long-term reliability. The last MOT prior to this, in 2022, also showed no defects, but earlier entries reveal recurring issues. A pattern of suspension and corrosion-related defects emerged in the 2020 and 2021 MOTs. These included worn suspension bushes, deteriorated ball joint dust covers, and corrosion near chassis mountings. While these were classified as "advisories" or "not serious," they indicate gradual wear in critical components. The 2021 MOT also noted an oil leak and underbody corrosion, which could signal ongoing maintenance needs. The trend appears stable since 2022, with no new defects recorded. However, the lack of recent MOT data (the last entry is over two years old) means the current condition of the vehicle is uncertain. The 2020 and 2021 issues suggest that older components—particularly suspension bushes, corrosion-prone areas, and brake systems—may require closer inspection.
