2020 Mitsubishi L200 2.3L Diesel · WR70 OGH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a persistent trend of neglected braking system components. While the most recent test in November 2024 at 65,987 miles passed, the tester flagged both the nearside and offside front brake discs as pitted and scored. This mirrors an advisory from the November 2023 test at 46,580 miles, suggesting the owner failed to replace these components despite the previous warning. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old utility vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per annum. Between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, the vehicle covered 19,407 miles, which represents a higher-than-average annual usage. This surge in use explains the accelerated wear observed on the front components, as the 2023 record already noted the front tyres were nearing the legal limit and showing signs of perishing. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking assembly and the associated suspension components. The recurring pitting and scoring on the discs suggest either exposure to corrosion or low-quality materials, which can lead to reduced braking performance and premature pad wear. Given the previous reports of perishing tyres in 2023, the current condition of all rubber should be checked for sidewall cracking and uneven wear to ensure they have not aged despite the high mileage.
