2017 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · CU66 UNZ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical wear-related issues. The most recent test in January 2026 at 75,241 miles identified a defect on the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage pin or bush. While this did not cause a failure, it indicates that suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life after a period of clean records in previous years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,360 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between December 2022 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered 5,834 miles. Since the January 2024 test, the usage has accelerated slightly, with 7,541 miles covered in just two years. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which explains the recent appearance of wear and tear in the more recent MOT entries. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front suspension. The January 2025 test at 71,866 miles flagged pitted and scored front brake discs with imbalanced braking performance that barely met the limit. This suggests the front rotors have not been thoroughly serviced or the calipers may require attention. Furthermore, the worn anti-roll bar linkage noted in the 2026 test implies that all other front suspension bushes and joints should be checked during a road test to ensure the degradation is not widespread across the axle.
