2018 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · CP18 BCU

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test on June 4, 2026 at 77,189 miles flagged thin front brake pads and pitted or scored front brake discs. This marks a departure from the two consecutive clean records seen in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the braking system is now reaching the end of its service life and requires attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a modern pickup truck, averaging approximately 9,650 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 45,799 miles and the June 2026 test at 77,189 miles, the vehicle covered 31,390 miles at a steady rate. The accumulation of roughly 2,300 miles between May 2025 and June 2026 suggests regular road use, which explains the gradual wear observed on consumable components in the latest inspection report. A buyer should focus their inspection on the front assembly, as the history reveals recurring issues with tyres and brakes. The 2022 record noted a damaged track rod end dust cover and tyre wear, while the 2023 test flagged both front tyres reaching the legal limit. Given the 2026 advisory regarding scored discs and thin pads, the buyer must verify that the calipers are not seizing and causing the pitting. Checking the suspension for perished bushes and steering play is also advisable to ensure the previous damage to the track rod cover has not resulted into wider mechanical failure.
