2005 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · CW55 BHA

The Mitsubishi L200 passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2024 at 156,050 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with clean passes in 2022 and 2023 alongside the 2024 result. The record shows a consistent pattern of same-day failures and passes on 25 and 26 January 2024 (156,049 to 156,050 miles) and on 25 January 2023 (152,744 to 152,746 miles), where the tester logged no defects on either failure. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults requiring rectification. The recorded mileage of 156,050 against a 2005 build gives an average of roughly 7,431 miles per year, which is typical for a 21-year-old light commercial. Annual increments are modest: 149,785 miles in January 2022, 152,746 in January 2023, and 156,050 in January 2024, showing steady low-use accumulation of about 3,000 miles per year. The DVSA data is sparse and clean across all five entries, with no advisories, corrosion notes, or brake and suspension flags logged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underside corrosion, as a 2005 L200 is prone to chassis rust that MOT testers may record inconsistently. The same-day fail-pass cycles with zero defects imply the previous owner addressed minor test-centre queries promptly, but the absence of advisories does not confirm health of consumables such as brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes. Verify the condition of tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase.
