2012 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · DS12 ENW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in April 2026 at 182,022 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the recent history indicates a reactive approach to minor repairs. A failure recorded just two days prior to the latest pass was due to a dangerously worn nearside front outer tyre with exposed cords and a failed rear fog lamp, both of which were rectified to secure the certificate. This suggests the owner is willing to address safety-critical defects once flagged by the tester. At 182,022 miles, this 2012 Mitsubishi has covered a significant distance, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year. The record shows consistent usage, with over 11,000 miles covered between February 2023 and April 2026. This high mileage suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for work or utility tasks rather than sitting for long periods. While consistent prevents seizure, it places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and structural integrity compared to a lower-mileage example. A physical inspection must focus on the underbody and braking components identified in the 2025 test. The tester noted surface corrosion and a corroded rear brake pipe obscured by grease, which often masks deeper structural decay. A buyer should verify that the corrosion has not progressed into the frame or mounting points. Additionally, the damage to both rear shock absorbers noted at 176,449 miles should be checked for oil leaks or signs of failure, as high-mileage pickups frequently reach the end of their damping life.
