2007 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · DN57 PUY

The most recent MOT on 2023-11-04 shows a mixed outcome, with both a passed and failed result recorded for the same date. The passed test listed minor issues: an inoperative offside registration plate lamp, rear tyres worn close to legal limits, and a non-excessive oil leak. The failed test on the same date highlighted more critical concerns, including multiple lighting failures (nearside and offside front position lamps, offside rear stop lamps), repeated tyre wear, and the same oil leak. These recurring defects suggest unresolved maintenance priorities. A pattern of tyre wear and lighting system failures is evident across multiple MOTs. In 2021, rear and front tyres were noted as worn close to legal limits, and by 2023, the same issue persisted with both nearside and offside rear tyres. Lighting defects, particularly position and stop lamps, reappeared in 2023 after a 2022 suspension arm failure. The 2022 failure of the offside front upper suspension arm ball joint indicates a structural component nearing end-of-life, which could compromise handling and safety. The condition trend appears worsening . While 2022 had a clean pass, subsequent tests reveal repeated tyre and lighting issues, alongside a suspension component failure.
