2013 Mitsubishi L200 2.5L Diesel · WG62 DXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 60,868 miles was a pass, it followed a failure for a deteriorated nearside front track rod end and an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. This indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach a failure threshold. The recurring nature of suspension dust cover failures across multiple years suggests a lack of routine inspection of the steering components despite the low overall mileage. At 13 years old, the recorded 60,868 miles represent significantly low annual usage, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals between annual tests, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between December 2023 and November 2024, and another 5,600 miles between November 2024 and December 2025. This low mileage often leads to the dry degradation of rubber components and seals, which aligns with the persistent issues with perished boots noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front geometry and structural integrity. The November 2024 test flagged corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear vehicle structures; while structural rigidity was not compromised at that time, rust on an L200 often progresses rapidly if not treated or monitored. Furthermore, the repeated failures of ball joint dust covers mean the buyer should check the actual ball joints for play or grease leakage, as the record shows the protective boots have been left to deteriorate for extended periods.
