2016 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · FX66 RZF

This 2016 Mitsubishi L200 has a very clean MOT history up until its most recent test, which was conducted just three days ago on 10 June 2026. While the vehicle passed every inspection from 2022 through 2025 without a single defect, it has just failed its latest MOT due to front brake pads being worn below the legal limit of 1.5 mm. The condition trend appears stable but has hit a sudden snag with this consumable component. Because the previous three years were entirely defect-free, this failure is likely a matter of routine wear rather than a sign of systemic neglect or worsening mechanical deterioration. The recorded mileage of 56,597 over ten years averages out to roughly 5,660 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the UK average for a diesel pickup, which suggests the vehicle has seen light use. However, such low annual mileage can be a double-edged sword; while it implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, it can also mean the vehicle has spent long periods standing still, which can lead to issues like seized components or degraded rubber parts. The sudden jump in mileage between 2024 and 2026 (from 26,343 to 56,597) suggests a period of much heavier usage compared to its earlier life. This increased activity has clearly brought the brake pads to the end of their service life. Before purchasing, you must ensure the failed brake pads have been replaced and that the discs were inspected for thickness and scoring.
