2003 Mitsubishi L200 Double CAB 2.5L Diesel · LG52 LFT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 September 2024 at 265,852 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the vehicle consistently clears the testing process despite initial failures in both 2023 and 2024. The lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests that any identified faults were addressed prior to the tests, indicating a proactive approach to rectifying immediate mechanical or structural failures. At 23 years old, the recorded 265,852 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 11,559 miles, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a work vehicle of this age. The data shows steady mileage accumulation, with roughly 13,400 miles covered between September 2022 and 2023, and another 20,236 miles between September 2023 and 2024. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and corrosion of braking components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and frame members, given the high mileage and age of this Mitsubishi L200. While the MOT record shows no current defects, high-mileage pickups often suffer from hidden corrosion in the mounting points and exhaust hangers. Pay close attention to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for signs of wear, as these components endure significant stress over a quarter-million miles.
