2004 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · DV54 HHA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on 24 March 2022 at 180,889 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure for a non-functional offside rear stop lamp. The absence of recorded advisories or recurring defects in the tests since 2018 suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters during the inspection periods. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 22-year-old utility vehicle, averaging approximately 8,222 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression of 12,145 miles between June 2018 and February 2021, followed by another 12,035 miles leading into the March 2022 test. This regularity indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to perished seals or seized components. However, the last recorded MOT was now over four years ago as of June 2026, meaning the current roadworthiness of the vehicle is unverified and potentially overdue under DVSA regulations. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as these L200 models are prone to rust in hidden areas. While the MOT history shows no mechanical failures, the high mileage of 180,889 miles places significant stress on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain. Given the long gap since the last official test, a thorough check of brake fluid condition and tyre sidewall integrity is essential to ensure no rapid degradation has occurred since the 2022 certification.
