2013 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · AF13 FLG

The Mitsubishi L200 presents a clean roadworthiness position as of the most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 138,132 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The owner cleared the 2026 test at the first attempt after a same-day failure on 31 March 2026 with no defects listed, mirroring an identical pattern on 24 March 2025 at 129,515 miles where a failure with no recorded defects preceded a pass. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2013 vehicle, averaging roughly 10,600 miles per year against the 138,132 miles now shown. The records show steady accumulation: 119,402 miles at the 25 March 2024 test, rising to 129,515 by March 2025 and 138,132 by March 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the data. The DVSA entries are sparse and consistently clean, which suggests routine test compliance rather than deferred repair work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the L200's ladder chassis and suspension bushes are prone to rot in older pickups even when MOT tests log no advisories. The brake discs, calipers, and coil springs warrant hands-on checks for binding or fatigue not captured by a pass result. Given the repeated same-day fail-and-pass cycles with no defects noted, the earlier failures likely stemmed from administrative or documentation issues rather than mechanical defect. The vehicle's history implies competent basic upkeep, but the absence of flagged wear items across 13 years and 138,000 miles means in-person verification of consumables and chassis condition remains essential before purchase.
