2020 Mitsubishi L200 4LIFE DI-D 2.3L Diesel · DX70 RVM

A consistent record of roadworthiness has been maintained throughout this vehicle's history, although the latest test on 13 September 2025 introduces the first recorded mechanical concerns. While the inspections in 2023 and 2024 were completed without any defects or advisories, the emergence of fluid leaks in the most recent report indicates the onset of component wear. With 40,813 miles recorded over approximately six years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,802 miles per year. This usage pattern is typical for its age, suggesting a steady application of the drivetrain and chassis without the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commercial use or the deterioration often seen in vehicles that have stood idle for extended periods. Attention must be paid to the offside rear shock absorber, which was flagged for light misting of oil during the September 2025 inspection. This indicates a seal failure that can eventually lead to reduced damping efficiency. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for knocking sounds over uneven surfaces and observe if the rear of the vehicle exhibits excessive bouncing or instability when traversing bumps. The recorded oil leak from the sump plug area also requires a physical inspection of the engine underside. While noted as not excessive, any leak in this area can lead to oil loss or contamination of the chassis. A prospective buyer should check for fresh oil residue around the sump plug and verify that there are no active drips on the ground after the engine has been running.
