2015 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · EY65 PKZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 2025-11-20 , confirms it passed without any recorded defects, though it had previously failed on 2025-11-19 —a rare but notable anomaly given identical mileage. The absence of advisories or repeated failures in the preceding four tests suggests the vehicle has maintained a stable roadworthiness profile under annual testing. However, the 2025 failure without defects raises suspicion of administrative error or a brief oversight in pre-test preparation, though no mechanical issues were subsequently identified. The most recent pass is just eight months old , which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 142,873 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 12,988 miles annually , a rate significantly higher than the UK average for a vehicle of this vintage. This suggests consistent use, which may accelerate wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. The most rapid accumulation appears between 2022-11-14 (101,395 miles) and 2023-11-22 (114,498 miles) , a 13,000-mile jump in under a year , though subsequent intervals remain steady. The lack of advisories or partial failures in earlier tests implies no major deferred maintenance, but the high mileage demands scrutiny of high-wear items. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue at this range. The 2025 failure without defects —despite identical mileage—could hint at a minor oversight in pre-test checks, but no structural or safety-critical faults were logged. Exhaust emissions and catalytic converter efficiency should also be verified, as these systems degrade predictably with high mileage. Finally, corrosion checks are essential, especially around wheel arches, subframes, and suspension mounts, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
