2016 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · WM66 BXD

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, as it has successfully passed every MOT test since 2019 without a single recorded failure. While the most recent test on 07 August 2026 showed no defects, the history reveals a minor trend regarding tyre condition, with advisories for worn edges in 2019 and more recent cuts to the nearside rear and offside front tyres in November 2025. This suggests that while the vehicle's structural and mechanical systems have remained compliant, the consumable rubber components have required closer monitoring over the years. The recorded mileage of 76,983 miles for a 2016 model indicates a relatively moderate usage pattern, averaging approximately 7,698 miles per year. This level of annual accumulation is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have not been subjected to the heavy, high-frequency stress associated with much higher mileage commercial use. However, the mileage is not low enough to suggest long periods of stationary storage, meaning the mechanical components should have been regularly exercised, which is generally beneficial for seals and moving parts. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the tyre condition, given the recent advisories for cuts on both the nearside rear and offside front tyres. During a test drive, it is essential to visually inspect the sidewalls and tread of all four tyres for any signs of bulging, cracking, or deep lacerations that might indicate structural damage to the tyre carcass. While the 2025 advisories noted the cuts were not deep enough to reach the cords, any new or existing damage should be closely examined to ensure the integrity of the rubber has not been compromised by road debris or impact. Beyond the tyres, the lack of advisories regarding brake pipes, suspension bushes, or chassis corrosion in the recent tests is a notable aspect of the record. On a test drive, you should listen for any rhythmic knocking or clunking from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate wear in the bushes or coil springs, and check for any pulling to one side during braking to ensure the calipers and discs are functioning evenly. Given the history of tyre wear on the edges, it would also be prudent to monitor the steering for any wandering or vibration that might suggest an alignment issue.
