2012 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · DS12 ENV

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 22 May 2026 at 114,468 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for insufficient windscreen washer fluid. This failure is non-mechanical and was rectified immediately, suggesting the owner is attentive to basic service requirements as the vehicle passed previous tests without significant mechanical or structural failures. At 114,468 miles, the L200 has averaged approximately 8,176 miles per year over its fourteen years, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a diesel vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 5,000 to 5,000 miles recorded between each inspection from 2023 to 2026. This regular use indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to perished seals or internal brake corrosion in older high-mileage pickups. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the suspension system, noting the 2025 advisory regarding a slightly worn nearside rear shock absorber bush at 112,220 miles. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, rubber components in heavy-duty suspensions tend to degrade at this mileage. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion or rust is essential, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the state of surface rust on the frame rails.
