2017 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · DL66 HNP

The vehicle presents a functional roadworthiness status but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 136,536 miles passed, it was flagged with all four tyres worn to the legal limit and thin front brake pads. This follows a recurring pattern where components are only addressed once they reach failure or critical advisory thresholds. The trend remains relatively stable in terms of passing but shows a consistent failure to manage consumable items between annual testing intervals. At 136,536 miles, this nine-year-old Mitsubishi has averaged approximately 15,000 miles per year, which is higher than the typical passenger car average. The data shows a significant surge in usage between November 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle covered 18,148 miles in just eleven months. This high rate of accumulation places heavy demand on the drivetrain and suspension, which is consistent with the wear observed on the prop shaft joint and brake components noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and drivetrain. The record shows fluctuating rear service brakes in late 2024 and a severe grabbing issue in late 2023, suggesting potential sticking calipers or warped discs. Furthermore, the prop shaft joint was flagged as excessively worn in November 2024; a physical inspection should check for vibrations under acceleration to ensure this was properly replaced. The repeated mention of worn anti-roll bar bushes in 2023 also indicates that the front suspension is beginning the end of its service life and requires close monitoring for play or knocking.
