2016 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · AV16 KLX

The most recent MOT test on 3 November 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 69,426 miles. The overall maintenance trend is stable, as evidenced by consistent pass results across all tests since 2022, including the close retest in May 2024. The absence of advisories or recurring failures suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence of proactive servicing or condition-specific checks is visible in the record. The mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 6,900 miles annually. There is a notable gap of approximately 10 months between the May 2024 failure and the March 2023 pass, during which the vehicle accumulated 5,800 miles. This suggests the vehicle was not stationary but rather driven at a steady pace without excessive wear. The retest in May 2024, just three days after the initial failure, implies a quick resolution of whatever minor issue caused the original test to fail, though the specific defect remains unspecified. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not always captured in MOT testing. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven wear or leaks, as these are critical for ride quality and handling. Brake components, including discs, pads, and calipers, warrant close scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, should be checked for corrosion, as this is a common issue in older commercial vehicles exposed to varying conditions. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, which could indicate underlying corrosion or improper maintenance.
