2006 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · CX06 YBA

The Mitsubishi L200 passed its most recent MOT on 20 November 2025 at 167,457 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy as of that date. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the three passes across 2024 and 2025 showing clean sheets. A notable quirk sits in the record: the vehicle failed on 9 January 2025 and again on 20 November 2025 at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, yet the DVSA entries list no defects for either failure. This points to administrative re-tests or documentation errors rather than mechanical rejection. Annual mileage sits at a typical 8,373 miles for a 2006 vehicle, with the odometer climbing from 156,228 miles on 10 January 2024 to 161,397 miles on 9 January 2025, then to 167,457 miles by 20 November 2025. The 6,060 miles added between January and November 2025 reflects slightly above-average use for that window. No long dormant periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear in the data, and the sparse clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. The absence of recorded advisories across all five tests means no tester flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues. Buyers should still inspect the chassis and subframes for rust given the 20-year age and pick-up duty cycle, and confirm the rear suspension leaf springs and calipers move freely. The twin zero-defect failures warrant a check of the DVSA failure reason codes, since the online record alone does not explain them. Given the clean pass history and ordinary mileage, the L200 shows no worsening fault trend. A pre-purchase check should nonetheless verify underbody integrity and confirm the unexplained 2025 failures were procedural, not masked mechanical faults.
