2009 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · DV09 XWR

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 24 December 2025 at 263,015 miles resulted in a pass, with the primary issue being corrosion affecting the vehicle's structure, which has not yet compromised rigidity. Minor issues included fouled headlamp lenses and deteriorating tail-light registration plates. The previous test in December 2024 flagged a severely deteriorated constant velocity boot on the offside front drive shaft, which requires immediate replacement to prevent joint failure. Earlier tests revealed a corroded brake pipe at the nearside rear, slight play in the offside front lower anti-roll bar linkage, and an oil leak that was not excessive. The 2021 failure was due to insufficient washer fluid and a damaged leaf spring anchor bracket, both of which were rectified. The high annual mileage of approximately 15,471 miles suggests significant wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and brake components, particularly given the recurring corrosion issues. A potential buyer should arrange a detailed pre-purchase inspection to verify the condition of the suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust system, and to assess the extent of the structural corrosion.
