2016 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · SY16 NHK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred mechanical repairs and recurring component issues. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 80,659 miles passed, it followed a failure just two days prior where critical systems such as the ABS and electronic stability control were flagged. The presence of thin front brake pads and binding front calipers in the passing record suggests that the owner is only addressing faults when they threaten to cause an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between November 2023 at 57,877 miles and December 2024 at 70,713 miles, the vehicle covered over 12,000 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The subsequent interval of nearly 10,000 miles leading to the 2025 tests shows a steady usage profile for a pickup truck of this age. A buyer must closely inspect the structural integrity of the chassis and tow bar assembly, as corrosion has been noted in both 2024 and 2025 records. Although the tester noted structural rigidity is not yet compromised, the persistent mention of rust on the joining chassis is a long-term concern. The braking system requires thorough examination due to recurring reports of binding front calipers and fluctuating rear discs. Additionally, the previous failure of the rear prop shaft UV joint in late 2024 should be verified to ensure the replacement was effective and has not developed further play.
