2006 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · FH06 VVX

The Mitsubishi L200 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 27 March 2025 at 159,275 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing no escalating faults or unresolved advisories. The vehicle cleared its final test cleanly after a failed attempt the day before, where the tester logged no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage stands at 159,275 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 7,964 miles per year, which is typical for a two-decade-old commercial 4x4. The records show 141,220 miles in January 2023, 150,696 by March 2024, and 159,275 by March 2025, equating to about 9,000 miles annually over that span. A gap exists between the January 2023 and March 2024 tests, missing the 2023 cycle, but the sparse, clean entries indicate no chronic fault pattern was logged across the visible period. The back-to-back fail and pass on 26 and 27 March 2025 at near-identical mileages imply the owner corrected a non-mechanical or paperwork matter swiftly. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any test, so the record gives no signal of structural decline. A buyer should still inspect chassis rails, subframe, and suspension mounts in person, as L200 models of this era commonly suffer hidden rust despite clean MOT sheets. Given the 20-year age and 159k mileage, verify the condition of drivetrain oils, steering joints, and tyre sidewalls during a physical viewing. The MOT data alone supports a sound roadworthiness verdict, but it does not substitute for a hands-on check of wear items the annual test may not capture.
