2016 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · WT16 AYX

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-28 recorded a single minor issue: light misting of oil on the nearside rear shock absorber (5.3.2 (b)). This is a non-urgent defect but indicates potential wear or leakage in the suspension system. No other defects were noted, and the vehicle passed. The prior MOTs from 2024 to 2021 show no recorded issues, suggesting a generally stable mechanical condition over the past five years. The vehicle’s mileage of 142,258 miles at 10 years old equates to roughly 14,226 miles per year, which is higher than average for its age. This could imply frequent use or heavy driving conditions, potentially accelerating wear on components like brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain. However, the absence of recurring defects in earlier MOTs suggests the vehicle has been well-maintained despite the high mileage. The trend in MOT results shows no worsening pattern. The only defect identified in the latest test was isolated to a shock absorber, which may not reflect systemic issues. The lack of repeated failures or escalating problems indicates the vehicle’s condition has remained stable over time.
