2020 Mitsubishi L200 2.3L Diesel · WR70 OGG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on May 12, 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The failure recorded just one day prior to the latest test at 29,798 miles was due to a damaged nearside track rod end ball joint dust cover and an offside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. While these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a pass a day later, the record suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they threaten the MOT certificate. The mileage profile is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a significant usage gap between the April 2024 test at 9,768 miles and the May 2025 test at 17,401 miles, followed by another 12,398 miles covered in the final year. This inconsistent usage, despite low annual mileage, can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components, surface corrosion on brake discs, and flat-spotting tyres if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the front suspension thoroughly to ensure the recently replaced track rod end has been fitted correctly and that other bushes show no signs of premature tearing. The recurring issue with the offside rear tyre, appearing in both 2025 and 2026, indicates a potential alignment problem or a persistent camber issue that has not been fully resolved. Given the low mileage, checking the brake system for pitting or seized calipers is essential, as these components are prone to surface rust when vehicles are not used frequently.
