2017 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · DS17 VYF

The vehicle currently holds a passing roadworthiness status, based on the test conducted on 11 November 2025 at 80,218 miles. This recent assessment flagged significant wear on both front brake pads and inner discs, which were pitted or scored, though not deemed seriously weakened. The condition of the tyres was also noted as worn close to the legal limit. The maintenance trend suggests a pattern of basic upkeep being overlooked, as the vehicle has failed previously due to tyre tread depth and requires attention to the braking system components. The mileage progression over the last nine years is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 8,913 miles per annum. The record shows tests conducted regularly, with intervals of approximately six to seven months between assessments. A notable failure occurred on 8 November 2024 at 72,222 miles, specifically due to the offside rear tyre tread falling below the required 1.6mm depth. This recurring issue indicates that tyre replacement schedules may need to be more rigorously managed to prevent future failures. A buyer should inspect the braking system thoroughly, specifically checking the condition of the inner brake discs for scoring and the wear level of the front pads. Given the history of tyre failures, checking the suspension components, including coil springs and suspension bushes, for signs of wear or damage is advisable. While no major structural defects or serious mechanical failures have been recorded, the accumulated wear on consumables suggests that routine preventative maintenance is necessary to ensure continued reliability.
