2013 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · VK63 VTM

The Mitsubishi L200 presents a clean roadworthiness record with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 131,207 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same date showing no listed defects, which points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 18 November 2024 test passed at 101,701 miles after a same-day failure with no defects logged, and the 20 November 2023 test passed cleanly at 88,033 miles. No advisories or worn components appear anywhere in the history. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 2013 vehicle, averaging around 10,093 miles per year against the 131,207 miles recorded. The jump from 88,033 miles in November 2023 to 101,701 miles in November 2024 is modest at 13,668 miles, then a larger 29,506-mile increase by December 2025 suggests heavier use in the final year. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with three consecutive annual passes and only defect-free failures, so the record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still inspect the L200 in person for age-related corrosion on chassis members and suspension mounting points, as the L200's ladder frame suffers structural rust where road salt sits. Check the front suspension bushes and rear leaf spring hangers for cracking or play, and confirm the brake discs and calipers are free from binding after the long 2025 mileage spell. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the double same-day failures in 2024 and 2025 warrant a check of the V5 and test centre notes to rule out repeated documentation errors.
