2020 Mitsubishi L200 2.3L Diesel · WR70 OGX

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with front braking component degradation. The most recent test in September 2025 at 50,663 miles passed despite the tester noting front brake discs were pitted or scored. This follows a similar advisory from October 2023 at 38,273 miles, where both thin pads and scored discs were flagged. While the vehicle continues to pass, the persistence of worn brake hardware suggests the previous owner addresses components only upon failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,444 miles per year. Between October 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle covered 3,216 miles, which represents a period of lower usage. However, the jump of 9,174 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests returns to normal annual levels. This usage is typical for a light commercial vehicle and does not inherently indicate excessive wear on the drivetrain or suspension relative to its age. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking system to ensure the discs were finally replaced following the 2025 advisory. Given the history of pitting and scoring, it is vital to check for sticking calipers that might be causing uneven wear. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding a perished nearside rear tyre warrants a check of all remaining sidewalls for dry rotting, as rubber degradation often occurs during periods of standing. Since no structural corrosion or mechanical failures were recorded in the history, the focus should remain on these consumables and the state of the suspension bushings.
