2014 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · CV14 KTN

The Mitsubishi L200 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 September 2025 at 86,759 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in September 2024 at 78,966 miles and April 2023 at 67,240 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 31 March 2023 at 67,200 miles, reversed the next day on a partial retest with no defects logged, suggesting a clerical or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a serious fault. Recorded mileage sits at 86,759 against a 2014 build, an average of roughly 7,230 miles per year and typical for the age. The gap between the March 2022 pass at 66,140 miles and the April 2023 pass at 67,240 miles shows only 1,100 miles covered in thirteen months, implying a period of light use or standing. From 2023 onward the annual accumulation normalised to around 11,000 to 12,000 miles, with no rapid wear spikes that would alarm on consumables or drivetrain load. The DVSA data flags no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of chassis rails and subframe for hidden rust, given the L200's age and the 2022 to 2023 low-mileage lay-up that can encourage damp-related degradation. Verify the 31 March 2023 failure reason via the full VT30 sheet, as the record shows no defects yet a reject status. In-person checks should cover front wishbone bushes and rear leaf spring hangers for cracking, plus brake caliper freedom after the long stationary spell. The clean test history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but MOT pass with no defects does not certify component life remaining on a twelve-year-old 4x4.
