2019 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · WO68 WXM

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED record from the 2026-01-28 test, but the MOT history indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical health. The tester flagged binding rear brakes on the 2025-01-15 test, suggesting that the braking system is no longer compliant and may require immediate inspection by a qualified technician. This condition has persisted since the 2025-01-15 failure, indicating that the brake system is not in a stable, acceptable state. Mileage accumulation is a critical factor in the assessment. The vehicle has accumulated roughly 12,534 miles over its lifespan, which places it in a high-risk category for wear on consumables and suspension components. The rapid mileage gain since the 2024-01-16 test suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped or not performed during the owner's absence, leading to accelerated failure of internal components like the suspension bushings and coil springs. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and specific mechanical risks, particularly focusing on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. Given the binding brakes and cracked rear tyres, the vehicle is not roadworthy and requires a full diagnostic visit to assess suspension bushings, brake disc wear, and structural corrosion. If the vehicle has a history of passing tests but failing on critical components like the brakes, it is prudent to prioritize a professional inspection before purchase to mitigate the risk of sudden failure.
