2004 Mitsubishi L200 Double CAB 2.5L Diesel · DF04 AAN

The Mitsubishi L200 double cab presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 October 2025 at 194,116 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The October 2025 test also logged a failure on the same date and mileage with no defects recorded, a known DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical rejection. Prior tests in October 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly at 185,169, 172,611, and 161,098 miles respectively, showing no advisories or faults flagged by testers over the four-year span. The odometer reflects roughly 8,823 miles per year against the vehicle's 22-year life, a typical accumulation for a working pickup of this era. Mileage advanced by 11,471 between the 2022 and 2023 tests, then 12,558 to 2024 and 9,947 to 2025, a consistent annual pattern with no standing gaps or sudden surges. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumables, though the absence of advisories at this age warrants caution as testers may not have probed hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural chassis members and outriggers, as the L200 of this generation is prone to underbody rust unseen in a pass-only record. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will have absorbed nearly 194,000 miles of load and should be physically checked for fatigue or scoring. The twin test entries on 13 October 2025 suggest clerical duplication rather than rectification work, so confirm the V5C and DVSA status before purchase.
