2017 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · R9 GDG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 87,791 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior for multiple critical defects. The presence of a flashing exhaust filter light indicates a potential DPF issue or sensor fault that remains unaddressed despite the pass. The recurring nature of tyre and suspension issues suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they directly threaten an MOT certificate. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,755 miles per year. Between the November 2023 test at 64,221 miles and the November 2025 test at 87,791 miles, the vehicle covered 23,570 miles in two years. This represents standard usage for a pickup truck, yet the rapid wear noted on multiple tyres during this period indicates the vehicle may be suffering from poor alignment or excessive strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must personally inspect the front-end geometry, as the records consistently flag inner-edge wear on both front and rear tyres across 2023 and 2025. The nearside rear brake pipe identified in 2023 and 2024 requires a thorough check to ensure the corrosion was fully treated or replaced with high-quality copper. Furthermore, the worn bush on the nearside rear lower shock absorber noted in late 2025 should be monitored for further degradation or audible knocking. The persistent flashing exhaust filter light demands a diagnostic scan to determine if this is a simple sensor failure or a more costly blockage of the particulate filter system.
