2013 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · AF13 VMG

The Mitsubishi L200 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 117,883 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults that would suggest worsening condition. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,000 miles, typical for a 2013 pickup of this type. The records show steady accumulation: 94,376 miles in August 2022, 102,277 by October 2023, 111,877 in January 2025, and 117,883 by February 2026. A short gap appears between the August 2022 failure at 94,341 miles and the pass five days later at 94,376 miles, but the failure carried no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or retest issue rather than a repair requirement. The data is otherwise sparse and clean, with no advisories logged at any stage. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as L200 chassis units of this age commonly suffer hidden rust even when MOT tests show no defects. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks given the vehicle's 13-year age and 117,000 miles of service. The absence of recorded faults does not exempt the pickup from wear on consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades. The five-day fail-and-pass sequence in August 2022 implies the previous owner addressed the tester's concern promptly, and the subsequent clean record suggests reasonable upkeep thereafter. Given the fault-free history, the L200 stands as a low-risk purchase subject to a routine independent inspection of chassis and drivetrain components.
