2017 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · WP67 UTE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 103,623 miles identified two minor but relevant faults: an insecure battery and a corroded rear brake pipe. While the vehicle passed, the presence of corrosion on brake lines covered by grease suggests an attempt to mask surface degradation which requires close monitoring to ensure the hydraulic integrity remains intact. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use light commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 11,500 miles per year. There was a notable increase of 12,522 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, followed by another 9,408 miles in the year leading up to the January 2026 test. This suggests regular usage rather than long periods of standing. The clean records from 2022 and 2023 indicate a period where the vehicle was in good mechanical condition without flagged defects. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking system to determine the extent of the corrosion on the rear pipes flagged in early 2026. The recurring issue of worn front tyres, noted in 2021 and 2024, indicates a history of neglecting basic consumable maintenance or ignoring alignment issues, which warrants a check of the suspension bushes and geometry. Additionally, the battery tray must be properly secured to prevent vibration-related damage to the terminals as highlighted by the tester.
