2015 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · DY65 WVP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 at 138,144 miles. The maintenance trend is inconsistent. While the last three years show clean passes, the vehicle failed on the same day in November 2025 due to an inoperative engine management light, suggesting a late-stage electronic or sensor fault that required immediate rectification. Mileage accumulation has accelerated significantly in recent years. The vehicle covered only 24,824 miles in its first six years of testing, between 2018 and 2021. However, it added 78,350 miles between October 2021 and November 2025. This rapid increase to 138,144 miles places higher stress on the drivetrain and chassis than the early history suggests. A buyer must scrutinize the braking system and chassis for corrosion. The October 2021 test at 59,794 miles flagged excessively corroded front brake pipes and worn pads, while the October 2020 test at 44,527 miles had already noted corrosion on those same pipes. This indicates a historical struggle with rust in the braking lines, a common issue for this model that requires verification to ensure permanent repairs were made rather than temporary patches. Suspension integrity is another point of concern. The vehicle failed in October 2022 at 79,504 miles due to a serious fluid leak in the nearside rear shock absorber, following a 2020 advisory regarding corrosion on both rear shocks. Given the high mileage and the history of leaking and corroded dampers, a physical inspection of all four shock absorbers and the surrounding suspension bushes is necessary to rule out ongoing degradation.
