2018 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · DP67 NBM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of significant mechanical neglect. The most recent test in March 2025 at 101,905 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a worn bush on the nearside rear shock absorber. This represents a marked improvement over the February 2022 failure, indicating that the current owner has addressed critical braking and tyre issues that previously rendered the vehicle unsafe. The mileage profile reflects a high rate of use for its age, averaging approximately 12,700 miles per year. There is a sharp increase in usage between March 2023 and March 2025, where the vehicle covered 50,302 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. While the vehicle maintained clean records between 2022 and 2024, the recent surge in mileage suggests the truck is now used for heavy-duty or long-distance commercial work. A physical inspection should focus on the front braking system and the rear suspension. Given the 2022 failure involved a binding nearside caliper, thin pads, and pitted discs, a buyer must check for uneven pad wear or signs of heat to ensure the repair was thorough. The advisory on the rear shock absorber bush suggests the suspension is beginning to age and wear, which is expected on a vehicle with over 100,000 miles. One should also inspect the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the frame, as high-mileage pickups are often exposed to harsh environments that accelerate structural integrity issues.
