2006 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · LS06 PYL

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently stable, with two consecutive PASSED results in 2025 and 2024, both at 31,861 and 31,855 miles respectively. However, the record shows two FAILED tests in 2024 and 2023 at similar mileages, with no defects recorded. This inconsistency suggests a need for closer scrutiny of the vehicle's systems, particularly the brakes and suspension, which are common failure points at this age and mileage. The mileage pattern is unusually low for a 20-year-old vehicle, averaging just 1,593 miles per year. The most recent tests in 2025 and 2024 were conducted just six days apart, with the mileage decreasing by six miles between tests. This could indicate the vehicle was not driven or was driven very lightly during this period, or that the odometer was adjusted. The two FAILED tests in 2024 and 2023 were also conducted within days of each other, with the mileage decreasing by one mile between tests. This further suggests the vehicle was not in regular use or that the odometer was adjusted. A buyer should inspect the brakes and suspension in person, as these systems are prone to wear and tear at this age and mileage. The vehicle's low mileage and recent FAILED tests warrant a thorough examination of the braking system, including the brake discs, calipers, and brake fluid. The suspension components, such as the shock absorbers, struts, and bushes, should also be inspected for signs of wear or damage. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches. The recent FAILED tests, despite no defects recorded, indicate that the vehicle may require more attention than the MOT results suggest.
