2014 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · KY64 OPT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 101,006 miles passed, it revealed a significant advisory regarding an offside front tyre worn excessively on the inner edge. This suggests an ongoing alignment issue or suspension geometry fault that remains unaddressed. The trend shows intermittent stability following a major failure in 2024, yet recurring mechanical concerns persist across the last recorded tests. At 101,006 miles over 12 years, the vehicle averages approximately 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a diesel pickup of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 9,500 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, though it also means components like rubber bushes and suspension are reaching natural wear at standard intervals. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the front suspension and geometry to address the inner edge wear noted on the front tyre. The 2024 failure involving a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage and thin brake pads with scored discs indicates that the front-end components are prone to frequent service requirements. Furthermore, the nearside rear gearbox mounting was flagged as defective in both 2022 and 2023; although it passed subsequent tests, a physical inspection should check for vibrations or excessive movement in the drivetrain to ensure the repair was effective and has not caused secondary wear.
