2013 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · CP62 MKD

The vehicle currently stands in a weak condition for roadworthiness, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test dated 2025-08-22 at 85,315 miles which passed with only minor cosmetic issues, yet this is not the only record. The 2025-08-19 test failed after 85,315 miles, revealing severe structural corrosion within 30cm of mounting points on the offside rear and front suspension, along with excessive corrosion on the rear and front anti-roll bars and brake disc. The sequence of tests indicates a deteriorating trend; the 2024-04-15 failure occurred after 85,307 miles, confirming that the structural integrity issues have persisted and worsened over time. Regarding mileage, the vehicle has aged to approximately 13 years with 85,315 miles, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for this age group. However, the data shows a distinct gap in the 2023-05-05 test at 80,456 miles, where only minor play was noted on the anti-roll bar linkage and dust cover corrosion was observed, while the 2023-05-04 test failed at 80,456 miles after 80,456 miles, indicating a rapid accumulation of wear that has not been adequately addressed. The vehicle's history suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped, leading to the accumulation of dust, corrosion, and structural damage that is now threatening the chassis and suspension. A buyer must inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, structural corrosion within 30cm of mounting points, and excessive corrosion on suspension spring mounting areas. The 2025-08-19 test flagged that the offside rear suspension spring mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength, while the 2024-04-15 test further confirmed that the rear shock absorbers and rear suspension spring mounting are severely corroded. These recurring faults suggest a pattern of neglect in maintenance, where the vehicle has not been properly serviced for over a year, leaving critical components vulnerable to failure.
