2018 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · SN18 XAY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent inspection. The latest MOT conducted on May 2, 2025, at 52,071 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately to meet roadworthiness standards. Since the April 2023 test, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any recurring advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per annum. Between the 2023 test at 40,111 miles and the 2024 test at 45,906 miles, the vehicle covered 5,795 miles. The subsequent interval saw 6,165 miles covered prior to the 2025 test. This steady, low-rate usage indicates light duty which typically results in less strain on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake systems compared to high-mileage commercial counterparts. While the current record shows no active defects, the failures in April 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle occasionally requires intervention to pass the annual test. A buyer should verify the specific reasons for those failures through service records to ensure they were related to simple consumable items rather than deeper mechanical wear. Given the age of the L200, a physical inspection should focus on the chassis for structural corrosion and the condition of the coil springs, as long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components.
