2004 Mitsubishi L200 Double CAB 2.5L Diesel · SR04 BZL

The 2004 Mitsubishi L200 Double Cab presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 31 May 2025 at 129,485 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes stretching back to February 2021. This consistent test history indicates the previous keeper maintained the vehicle to a standard that satisfied annual inspection requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The recorded mileage shows remarkably low annual use for a 22-year-old commercial pickup. From the February 2021 test at 114,148 miles to the May 2025 test at 129,485 miles, the vehicle covered only 15,337 miles over four years, averaging roughly 3,834 miles per year. The annual increments between tests remain tight and consistent, with the largest gap being the fourteen-month interval between the January 2022 and March 2023 examinations. Such low yearly totals suggest extended periods of standing, which on a Mitsubishi L200 of this era raises specific concerns around seized suspension components, degraded rubber bushes, and corrosion on underbody structures that see little regular movement. A buyer should commission a physical inspection focused on structural corrosion, particularly along the chassis rails and suspension mounting points, given the vehicle's age and low usage pattern. The clean MOT record provides no evidence of brake disc wear, binding calipers, or failing coil springs, yet the extended standing periods implied by the mileage make a thorough check of the braking system and flexible brake hoses advisable. The absence of any advisories across five tests is a positive signal, but the L200's age means a close examination of the front suspension bushes and 4x4 drivetrain components remains warranted before purchase.
