2018 Mitsubishi L200 2.4L Diesel · YG68 CUJ

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend despite a minor recent defect. The most recent test in September 2025 at 61,775 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This indicates that while the mechanical and safety components are meeting standards, basic consumable maintenance is beginning to require attention to prevent further degradation or uneven wear. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles annually. Between September 2022 at 30,284 miles and September 2025 at 61,775 miles, the vehicle covered 31,491 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. The gap of 10,135 miles between the September 2023 and 2024 tests suggests a slight increase in usage during that period, which coincided with the failure for a damaged nearside front seat belt at 47,582 miles before subsequent rectification. A buyer should inspect the front suspension and alignment specifically, as the edge wear on the offside front tyre often indicates tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the vehicle's age and use as a pickup, a physical inspection of the chassis for corrosion is essential, even though no structural defects were noted in the recent history. The seat belt mechanism should also be verified to ensure the repair following the 2024 failure remains secure and free of further material fraying or mechanical resistance.
