2002 Mitsubishi L200 Double CAB 2.5L Diesel · FL02 CTV

The Mitsubishi L200 passed its most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 at 101,860 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper. The maintenance trend is stable, with four passes across the last three test cycles and no advisories or mechanical faults raised at any stage. Two failed entries on the same dates as passes in 2023 and 2025 show administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rejects, since no defects were logged against either failure. Mileage sits low for a 24-year-old pickup. The record shows 98,816 miles on 23 November 2023, rising to 100,148 by 9 December 2024 and 101,860 by 2 December 2025. That is roughly 1,044 miles per year across the documented period, well under the 4,244-mile annual average implied by the odometer. Sparse, clean records and minimal accumulation suggest long periods of standing or light use, though the DVSA data before November 2023 is absent so earlier wear cannot be judged. A buyer should still inspect the chassis and suspension bushes in person. Low mileage and static storage on a 2002 ladder-frame truck often mask structural corrosion beneath the cab and around spring hangers, none of which an MOT with zero advisories would have flagged if surface-clean. Check brake discs and calipers for seizing after disuse, and confirm the 4x4 drivetrain engages without backlash. Given the absent defect history, previous owners appear to have kept the L200 to a basic pass standard with no flagged neglect. Verify the true standing conditions and request old service invoices, as the clean MOT trail alone does not evidence routine fluid or timing-chain care on a vehicle of this age.
