2017 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · S5 ADC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward wear-related component failures. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 95,554 miles passed, the tester flagged worn-out front brake pads and worn bushes on both front anti-roll bars. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2023 and early 2024, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their service life. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle this age, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per year. There was a significant period of use covering nearly 19,000 miles between April 2023 (56,064 miles) and July 2024 (74,993 miles). This burst of mileage likely correlates with the failure in July 2024 due to an excessively worn nearside rear suspension arm bush, which appeared to be rectified before the subsequent pass just two days later. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar bushes and suspension arm pins. The thinning brake pads noted in the 2025 test require an immediate measurement of the remaining material and disc thickness to ensure no further degradation. Given the previous failure of the nearside rear suspension, checking for play or perished rubber in all remaining suspension bushings is essential to ensure the vehicle remains stable at higher speeds.
