2018 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · RJ18 KXF

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift from clean records to reactive repairs. While the truck secured three consecutive passes between 2022 and 2024, the most recent test on 9 July 2025 at 66,761 miles revealed multiple advisories. The appearance of thin tyres across all four corners and a worn offside front brake pad and disc indicates a recent lapse in preventative maintenance compared to previous years of flawless inspections. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,345 miles per year. The data shows steady usage with a 5,240-mile gap between June 2023 and July 2024, and another 5,820 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary, though the jump in defects during the latest test suggests that components are now reaching the end of their service life due to age. A buyer must inspect the front braking system specifically, as the record shows thin pads in 2021 and again in 2025. The pitted and scored offside front disc requires replacement rather than just resurfacing to ensure effective stopping. The advisory for the park brake also necessitates a physical check of the cable tension and mechanical adjustment to ensure the mechanism is not seizing. Given that all four tyres were near the legal limit in July 2025, a full set of new rubber is likely required to maintain safety and traction standards.
