2015 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · RH03 TOT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test, conducted on 10 April 2025 at 126,016 miles, shows a clean pass with no recorded defects, though it is notable that this followed an immediate failure at 126,013 miles—suggesting a technical oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The preceding tests in April 2024 and April 2023 also passed without failings, though each was preceded by a near-simultaneous failure at identical mileages (94,588 vs. 94,590 in 2023, and 111,409 vs. 111,408 in 2024), which may indicate administrative errors or minor threshold discrepancies rather than recurring faults. The lack of advisories or defects across five tests implies no persistent mechanical concerns, but the repeated near-failures at identical mileages warrant scrutiny of whether the vehicle was driven to the test station in a borderline condition or if the tester’s threshold for minor issues was inconsistent. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 11,456 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the abrupt jumps between tests—such as the 11,409-mile gap between April 2023 and April 2024—could suggest periods of inactivity or inconsistent maintenance. The most recent test, just under a year ago, means the vehicle is now approaching its next MOT due date, which could occur as early as April 2026, depending on the exact test date. The absence of any mileage gaps exceeding 18 months reduces concerns about prolonged neglect, but the lack of service records means no insight into fluid changes, suspension servicing, or brake wear patterns. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers, as these are common wear items not always caught by MOT standards. The repeated near-failures at identical mileages—though unexplained—could hint at marginal brake performance or tyre tread issues, so the condition of the rear brakes, brake discs, and tyre depth should be verified. Structural integrity, especially around the wheel arches and sills, should also be examined for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust in high-exposure areas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions should be checked for leaks or excessive smoke, as these are often overlooked until they fail an MOT.
