2010 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · DN60 KKX

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a persistent trend of structural corrosion and mechanical wear. While the most recent test in May 2023 at 189,636 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed a new advisory for slight play in the nearside front upper suspension arm ball joint. The maintenance trend appears stable in a negative sense, as recurring issues with brake lines and structural integrity persist across multiple years, suggesting that previous owners performed only minimum reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative maintenance. At 189,636 miles, this Mitsubishi L200 has averaged approximately 11,852 miles per year over its sixteen years, which is consistent with a utility vehicle of this age. However, there is a significant gap in the data. The last recorded MOT was performed in May 2023, and as of June 2026, the vehicle has gone over three years without a formal inspection. This long interval is particularly risky given the history of structural corrosion and oil leaks, as the condition of the metal-bearing components and hydraulic brake systems has likely deteriorated significantly since the 2023 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough underside inspection focusing specifically on the chassis and rear vehicle structure. The record consistently flags corrosion in the rear structure from 2020, 2021, and 2023; while the tester noted structural rigidity was not yet reduced, the recurring presence of corroded inner and outer brake pipes across in grease indicates high risk of future hydraulic failure. The buyer should also verify the source of the oil leak noted in 2020 and 2023 and check the condition of the front suspension ball joints to ensure the play has not progressed beyond the last recorded level.
