2019 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · DV19 TYD

This 2019 Mitsubishi L200 has covered a very high 132,072 miles in about seven years, averaging nearly 19,000 miles per year. That is significantly above the UK average and suggests sustained heavy use, likely for towing, site work, or long-distance driving. The most recent MOT in March 2026 was a pass, but it recorded a nearside rear tyre worn very close to the legal limit. This is a routine wear item, but on a high-mileage work vehicle, it reinforces the need to check all four tyres carefully for uneven wear, which can point to alignment or suspension issues. The 2025 MOT showed a pattern of mechanical wear consistent with high mileage: a slightly worn rear shock absorber bush, front brake discs that were pitted or scored, and front brake pads wearing thin. These are all consumable items that have been allowed to run close to their limits. The 2024 and 2023 MOTs were clean, which means the vehicle has been maintained well enough to pass, but the recent advisories show that wear is now catching up. The trend is worsening. The vehicle went from clean passes in 2023 and 2024 to accumulating advisories on brakes, suspension bushes, and tyres in 2025 and 2026. This is typical for a vehicle entering the high-mileage zone where major components begin to need replacement.
