2010 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · DB55 ADE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass in January 2026 at 94,235 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the mechanical and electrical defects identified in the previous year appear to have been addressed. While the 2025 test revealed multiple vulnerabilities, the most recent inspection without defects suggests the current owner has been proactive in rectifying flagged issues before they escalate into test failures. At 94,235 miles over 16 years, this vehicle has averaged approximately 5,900 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a diesel utility vehicle. The mileage accumulation remains consistent, with roughly 3,600 miles covered between January 2024 and 2025, and another 1,910 miles leading into the 2026 test. This low usage often indicates less wear on the drivetrain but can lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age and exposure, as noted in the record. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and drivetrain components given the history of an offside front wheel bearing failure in 2024 and a deteriorated nearside front inner CV boot in 2025. The buyer should verify that the offside front power steering pipe has been replaced or is free of the corrosion previously noted. Additionally, the low-mile profile warrants a close check for cracking in the tyres and perished rubber bushings, as the 2025 record specifically flagged a damaged nearside front tyre.
