2014 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · NU64 HPX

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-19 showed the vehicle passed with minor corrosion issues on the nearside rear upper cab, which did not compromise structural security. This follows a pattern of recurring corrosion and wheel bearing concerns, though no critical failures were recorded in this test. The vehicle’s 122,323-mile odometer aligns with its 12-year age, averaging roughly 10,194 miles annually—a typical figure for this model and age. This suggests neither extreme wear nor prolonged under-use, though mileage alone does not rule out hidden issues. A recurring mechanical pattern includes nearside rear wheel bearing play, first noted in 2023 and reappearing in 2024. This could indicate ongoing wear or improper maintenance, potentially affecting handling and safety. Corrosion in the vehicle structure has also been consistently flagged, though never to the point of structural weakness. A significant failure in 2024-09-23 involved an excessively worn prop shaft bearing, a critical drivetrain component that could lead to sudden breakdowns if unresolved. While the 2025 MOT did not mention this issue, its absence does not confirm repair, as no explicit follow-up was recorded. The trend suggests stable but persistent issues, with no clear escalation in severity.
