2007 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · CV57 WKB

The Mitsubishi L200 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 146,294 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests in November 2024, November 2023, and June 2022 also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemish is a failure on 12 October 2023 at 144,831 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, indicating the car was likely presented prematurely or with incomplete documentation rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 7,700 miles per year for a 19-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 139,737 miles in June 2022 to 144,895 miles by November 2023, then crept to 145,829 miles in November 2024 and 146,294 miles in December 2025. The sparse record between 2022 and 2023 leaves a 17-month gap, but the low annual increments since suggest gentle use and no rapid wear accumulation on drivetrain or consumable components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on chassis rails and suspension mounting points, given the vehicle's age and commercial 4x4 design. The clean MOT history means no recurring faults exist in braking, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions to track, yet the October 2023 failure with no defects logged warrants verification that the DVSA entry reflects administrative presentation rather than suppressed mechanical concerns. Given the L200's age, examine coil springs, steering linkage, and underbody rust during a physical viewing. The absence of advisories across five tests implies previous owners addressed wear proactively, but 146,294 miles on original-era components means fatigue in rubber bushes and brake discs is plausible despite no tester flags.
