2010 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · FN60 YWA

The 2010 Mitsubishi L200 presents an exemplary maintenance trend, demonstrating complete stability across its recent MOT history. The most recent test on 9 September 2025 at 58,930 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This unbroken string of clean certificates, stretching back to 2021, indicates a vehicle kept in sound mechanical order. The absence of recurring faults suggests the previous owner addressed issues promptly rather than allowing problems to persist or worsen between tests. The recorded mileage of 58,930 miles is remarkably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging just 3,683 miles annually. Examining the chronological data reveals a gradual increase in annual usage. The odometer read 22,479 miles in September 2021, stepping up to 30,097 miles by September 2022, and reaching 48,576 miles by September 2024. The latest jump to 58,930 miles represents an annual accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles, marking a noticeable uptick in recent use compared to the sub-4,000-mile averages of earlier years. Despite this recent increase, the truck has spent the vast majority of its life covering minimal distances. Despite the flawless MOT record, a low-mileage pickup of this age demands a thorough physical inspection focused on the ravages of time and standing rather than high-mileage wear. Seized brake calipers and binding handbrake mechanisms are common on L200s that sit idle, so a road test must verify the wheels roll freely. The chassis and body mounts require close scrutiny for structural corrosion, a typical failure point for working pickups. Suspension bushes may have perished from age rather than wear, and the rubber door seals and tyres need checking for cracking, as the original tyres likely exceed their safe service age regardless of remaining tread depth.
