2004 Mitsubishi L200 Double CAB 2.5L Diesel · AD54 AHP

The Mitsubishi L200 passed its most recent MOT on 18 May 2024 at 153,415 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable. The earlier failure on 1 August 2022 at 141,823 miles carries no listed defects, with the vehicle passing cleanly four days later on 5 August 2022 at the same mileage, which points to an administrative or unlogged minor rectification rather than a mechanical breakdown. The recorded mileage of 153,415 over roughly 22 years equates to about 6,973 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests moderate, consistent use rather than harsh commercial abuse or long idle periods. A notable gap exists between the August 2022 test and the May 2024 test, leaving nearly two years with no official record, though the 11,592 miles added in that span remains within expected annual averages. The supplied history is sparse and clean, showing no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, coil springs, or corrosion across either pass. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as the L200 of this era is prone to chassis rust that an MOT without advisories may not fully expose if superficial at test time. The brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should be physically checked for binding or leakage despite the clean results. The August 2022 fail with no recorded defect warrants confirmation that any test-station issue was genuine and not a masked mechanical fault later cleared without trace.
