2010 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · KP10 HUV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 113,134 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior. The record shows a worsening condition regarding mechanical attention between 2022 and 2025, suggesting that critical components were only addressed once they reached the point of legal failure rather than being serviced during routine intervals. At 113,134 miles over 16 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light-useage patterns. However, there is a notable gap in data between the October 2022 test at 95,236 miles and the June 2024 test at 105,769 miles. During this 10,000-mile interval, the vehicle transitioned from a clean record to a state of multi-point failure, indicating a period where wear and tear were ignored until the MOT inspection forced intervention. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The recurring failure of the offside and nearside brake pipes due to corrosion across both 2024 and 2025 suggests persistent issues with rust on the fluid lines. Furthermore, the July 2025 failure of the front upper suspension arm ball joints on both sides indicates a serious risk to steering geometry. The buyer should check for excessive play in these joints and verify that the recent repairs utilized high-quality components rather than temporary fixes. The 2024 record also highlights a situation where brakes were worn to metal and pads were dangerously thin, which confirms a total lack of basic consumable monitoring. While these items were eventually replaced, the presence of multiple tyres worn to the legal limit suggests the previous owner frequently neglected routine maintenance tasks. Given the age of the vehicle and the specific reports of corrosion on brake lines, a detailed check of the chassis structural integrity is essential to ensure that the rust affecting the pipes has not compromised the main frame of the truck.
