2021 Mitsubishi L200 2.3L Diesel · DS21 LTJ

This 2021 Mitsubishi L200 passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, but the inspection revealed several wearing components that warrant careful scrutiny before purchase. The mileage history shows a consistent pattern of roughly 11,400 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. At 56,986 miles, the truck sits in the expected range for a five-year-old model, so the wear you see is not unusual from age alone. However, the MOT records show a clear and accelerating trend toward tyre and brake deterioration. Tyre wear is the most serious recurring issue. In April 2024, advisories noted edge wear on the nearside front tyre and minor damage to rear tyres. By April 2025, the situation had worsened noticeably: three of the four tyres were flagged as worn close to the legal limit with edge wear visible on both front nearside and both rear corners. Now in April 2026, the rear tyres remain worn close to limit on both sides, with the nearside wiper blade also showing defects. This pattern of repeated edge wear across multiple tyres suggests either aggressive driving, hard cornering loads, or inadequate tyre pressures—possibly a combination. The fact that edge wear is recurring rather than improving means the underlying cause has not been corrected.
