2019 Mitsubishi L200 2.3L Diesel · WN69 UBB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful pass on 20 November 2025 at 41,591 miles. However, the immediate history reveals a worsening trend in reactive rather than proactive maintenance. A failure just two days prior to that pass highlighted critical safety defects, including thinned front brake pads, worn discs, and both front tyres with exposed cords. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the record suggests the owner only addresses components when they fail inspection rather than performing routine preventative care. At seven years old, the recorded mileage of 41,591 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 6,000 miles. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing only 25,089 miles driven between November 2022 and November 2025. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and flat-spotting. The 2024 advisory regarding uneven edge wearing on the front tyres indicates potential alignment issues or suspension wear that persists despite the low distance covered. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the uneven edge wear noted in 2024 was not caused by worn control arm bushes or faulty dampers. Given the 2025 failure of the braking system, a thorough check of the calipers and hardware is necessary to ensure the replacement parts were fitted correctly and not glazed. The handbrake reserve travel flagged in 2024 also requires verification to ensure the cable tension and drum shoes are properly adjusted. Finally, inspect the chassis for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from structural rust if left stationary for long periods.
