2005 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · GP05 AYZ

The most recent MOT on 20 December 2024 recorded a pass at 169,558 miles, indicating the vehicle meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria at the time of testing. With a pass in 2022, another pass in December 2023 and the latest pass in 2024, the maintenance trend appears stable; no recurring defects or deteriorating components are evident in the record. At 169,558 miles the L200 is 21 years old, averaging roughly 8,074 miles per annum. The mileage progression from 161,257 miles in November 2022 to 163,060 miles in December 2023 and then to 169,558 miles by December 2024 reflects a modest increase of about 6,500 miles over two years, consistent with average usage for a vehicle of this age. No abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps appear, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Although the MOT entries list no specific advisories, a prudent buyer should still examine wear items that are not captured by the test. Inspect the tyre tread depths and sidewall condition for uneven wear, verify that the suspension bushings and coil springs are free of excessive play or corrosion, and check the brake discs and pads for thickness and any signs of binding calipers. A visual survey of the chassis for rust, particularly around wheel arches and underbody, will confirm that structural integrity remains intact. A final on‑site assessment should include a functional test of the steering and gearshift for smooth operation, a road‑test to listen for abnormal noises from the drivetrain, and a check of all lighting and exhaust emissions. Confirming these areas will give confidence that the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with the clean MOT history.
