2014 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · AE14 SLU

The Mitsubishi L200 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 98,441 miles on 6 May 2025. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards at that mileage. A failed test occurred on 30 April 2025 at 98,362 miles, yet the absence of recorded defects suggests an administrative failure or an aborted inspection rather than a mechanical fault. The subsequent pass just days later confirms the vehicle was swiftly rectified or re-presented in a compliant state. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a twelve-year-old pickup, averaging roughly 8,200 miles annually. Between the April 2024 test at 91,577 miles and the April 2025 test at 98,362 miles, the truck covered 6,785 miles, demonstrating consistent yearly use. The recorded history is notably clean, lacking the recurring mechanical failures or corrosion advisories often seen on working vehicles of this age. This sparse defect record implies either light commercial use or diligent preventative maintenance by the previous keeper. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle of this type and age. Buyers should closely examine the chassis and bulkhead for structural corrosion, a common affliction on older L200s used in harsh conditions. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for wear, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or uneven wear. The tyres and exhaust system should also be assessed for condition and leaks, ensuring the clean MOT history translates to the vehicle's current physical state.
