2018 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · DP67 NCJ

This 2018 Mitsubishi L200 has covered 141,236 miles, averaging roughly 17,654 miles per year. This is high mileage for an eight-year-old vehicle, suggesting heavy or consistent commercial use rather than light commuting. Such usage typically accelerates the wear on suspension, braking systems, and drivetrain components. The most recent MOT in July 2024 was a pass, but it highlighted issues with windscreen damage and front tyre wear. Looking at the broader history, there is a concerning pattern regarding the engine and emissions. In early 2024, the vehicle failed significantly due to an inoperative engine management light, excessive exhaust emissions, and visible smoke from the diesel particulate filter. The vehicle's condition trend appears to be worsening. While the 2022 MOT was clean, the subsequent years have seen a decline, moving from simple tyre and shock absorber issues to serious engine-related failures and emissions problems. The failure regarding the diesel particulate filter and smoke is particularly significant for a high-mileage diesel engine. While the most recent pass suggests the immediate emissions issues were addressed, the underlying mechanical health remains a question mark.
