2013 Mitsubishi L200 Trojan DCB DI-D 4X4 2.5L Diesel · WP63 DVO

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a successful test on 20 July 2025 at 145,999 miles. While the most recent result is clean, the maintenance history shows a period of instability during mid-2025. The consecutive failures in May and early July of that year, followed immediately by a pass, indicate that the vehicle required significant remedial work to meet compliance standards. The trend has moved from a state of multiple failures to current stability without recorded defects. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 13-year-old diesel, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. There is a notable burst of activity recorded between January 2024 and July 2025, where the vehicle covered 12,102 miles in just sixteen months. This rate of accumulation suggests the vehicle is still in active use, which places consistent load on the 4x4 drivetrain and suspension components. The gap between the January 2024 and May 2025 tests shows a standard interval testing cycle that aligns with typical annual usage patterns. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the components that likely caused the 2025 failures, as the record does not list specific defect codes for those declines. Focus attention on the braking system for binding calipers or thin discs, as well as the integrity of the exhaust system. Given the age and mileage of this L200, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis rails and mounting members is critical. You should also inspect for excessive wear on the suspension bushes and shock absorbers to ensure the recent MOT pass reflects sound mechanical health rather than a temporary fix.
