2017 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · SP67 LTK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the October 2025 test at 111,593 miles, it had failed just four days prior due to multiple safety-critical defects. The presence of a non-functional horn, washer, and stop lamp alongside front brake pads below the 1.5mm threshold suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine inspections. The mileage profile reflects a high-utilization pattern averaging approximately 12,400 miles per year, suggesting consistent commercial or long-distance use. Between September 2023 (68,157 miles) and October 2025 (111,553 miles), the vehicle covered over 43,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on heavy-duty components. The 2024 advisory at 90,785 miles regarding uneven tyre wear on the rear further points to potential alignment issues or suspension fatigue consistent with such high mileage. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and chassis. The recurring 2025 failures regarding corroded brake pipes on the nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear indicate significant oxidation that has been masked by grease. A tester should inspect these lines for any signs of further degradation or structural thinning to ensure the recent repairs were not merely cosmetic. Given the high mileage and previous tyre wear, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for excessive play or stress fractures that the MOT record has not yet flagged.
