2018 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · B1 BCH

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 62,756 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced a notification for a nearside front lower oil leak. While the tester deemed the leak not excessive to warrant a failure, it represents the first recorded defect since four consecutive years of clean MOT results between 2022 and 2025. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. Between the April 2022 test at 31,370 miles and the April 2026 test at 62,756 miles, the vehicle covered 31,386 miles. This steady progression suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals that often occurs with low-mileage, high-age vehicles. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the nearside front area to identify the source of the oil leak, checking the oil filter cover gasket, front crank seal, or sump pan area. Given the vehicle's age and usage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and suspension bushes remains advisable, as these are common points of wear on this model. The lack of previous advisories regarding brakes or tyres indicates the owner maintained the vehicle well, but the new leak requires monitoring to ensure it does not escalate into a significant mechanical failure.
