2011 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · DL11 FVG

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a trend of deferred maintenance and recurring structural deplet. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 51,364 miles, this followed a significant failure just one week prior involving multiple critical safety items. The history shows a pattern of reactive repairs where only the minimum requirements to pass the MOT are addressed, rather than resolving underlying issues like corrosion and mechanical wear that persist across multiple years. At 51,364 miles, this 15-year-old Mitsubishi has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,400 miles per year. This low usage suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which explains the state of the rubber components and braking systems. Between November 2023 and December 2025, the vehicle covered only 4,131 miles, yet the record shows repeated failures for perished tyres and failing brake pipes. This indicates that the vehicle's condition is driven by age-related decay rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the chassis and structural integrity, as the tester flagged chassis corrosion in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. The recurring issue with the excessively corroded brake pipe on the offside rear suggests that the braking system is at risk due to deep-seated rust. Furthermore, the prop center rubber mount has been noted as binding up for three consecutive years, indicating a persistent mechanical fault in the drivetrain that remains unaddressed. Further attention is required for the bodywork and lighting assemblies. The history notes frequent broken lenses, failed bulbs, and ineffective wiper blades, which are typical of long-term storage. The extensive body damage mentioned across multiple tests likely hides deeper rot that requires a physical probe. Given the persistent nature of the corrosion and mechanical binding issues, the vehicle represents a high risk for future MOT failures despite its low odometer reading.
