MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

25 MOT tests are recorded for this 2004 Mitsubishi L200 (GU53 WRT) between January 2007 and November 2021.

The record contains 17 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 18 November 2021 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (28 issues), Lighting (16 issues), Brakes (13 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (7 issues), Steering (4 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Rear Suspension spring mounting prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength”; “Nearside Rear Shock absorbers likely to become detached (5.3.2 (a) (ii))”; “Front Prop shaft bearing likely to break up uj (6.1.7 (b) (ii))”.
