2019 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · DV19 OFP

The most recent MOT test was conducted on 10 June 2025, roughly a year ago, and resulted in a pass with significant mechanical warnings. You should treat this vehicle as having urgent brake repair needs, as the history shows a clear worsening trend that has been ignored by the previous owner. The primary risk pattern centres on the front braking system. In June 2024, the tester recorded that the front brake pads were wearing thin and the front discs were worn, pitted, or scored. These issues were raised again immediately upon a retest the same day. Rather than rectifying these faults, the driver has continued to use the vehicle. By the 2025 test, the front brake pads had degraded from "wearing thin" to "worn almost to the limit" with a specific recommendation to replace them. The condition of the discs also remained poor. The mechanical trend is worsening because the advisories from 2024 were not addressed, allowing the brake pad material to wear down to a critical level over a very short distance of just 1,748 miles. The presence of pitted and scored discs on a vehicle of this age suggests the brakes may have suffered from corrosion due to standing idle for long periods, rather than simple friction wear.
