2017 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · CU67 VUP

The Mitsubishi L200 passed its most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 133,609 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that test. The maintenance trend is difficult to read from outcomes alone because the three prior 2025 tests show failures on 25 and 30 September at 133,160 and 133,488 miles respectively, yet the DVSA record lists no defects for any of those failures. That pattern points to administrative or presentation gaps in the data rather than a clear mechanical decline, and the clean pass a few days later suggests issues were resolved or never formally captured. Mileage sat at 117,027 on 26 September 2024 and rose to 133,609 by 2 October 2025, an accumulation of roughly 16,582 miles in just over twelve months against a nine-year average near 14,845. The 2024 test date carries a duplicate entry showing both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects logged, which implies a retest on the same day or a clerical anomaly. High annual use for a 2017 pickup of this type places above-average load on drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion given the L200's age and commercial-duty mileage. The absence of recorded advisories across the whole history does not rule out worn coil springs, tired suspension bushes, or early exhaust emissions drift that a tester might omit on a minimal-log test. Verify the 2025 failure causes directly with the test station, since the blank defect fields leave the true reason unknown. Check brake calipers for binding, confirm tyre tread and sidewall condition, and inspect the load bed and chassis rails for impact or rust. The rapid 2024 to 2025 mileage gain suggests the previous owner worked the vehicle hard, so consumable wear will likely be advanced even if the paper trail looks clean.
