2009 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · AF09 HWN

The Mitsubishi L200 presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, passing cleanly on 5 June 2025 at 243,002 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Two prior failures in May 2023 and May 2024 were logged with no defects stated by the tester, and the vehicle passed on re-test days later at near-identical mileages, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Mileage stands at 243,002 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 14,300 miles per year. The record shows steady annual use: 230,774 miles in May 2023 rising to 239,548 by June 2024 and 243,002 by June 2025. No large gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean advisory history across all five entries suggests consumables such as tyres, brake discs and suspension bushes were renewed before each test rather than left to flag. A buyer should still verify structural integrity in person. Pickups of this age and mileage commonly suffer chassis corrosion and worn suspension bushes even when MOTs show no advisories. Inspect the rear load bay, sills and underbody for rust. Check brake calipers for binding and confirm the drivetrain has no play in the propshaft or differentials. The two defect-free failures imply the vehicle was presented without a valid reason for rejection, so confirm the V5C and any prior test refusal paperwork before purchase.
