MOT tests in 2025, published 22 Jun 2026. DVSA publishes a new year each summer.

6,325 Mitsubishi L200 cars first used in 2015 had an MOT in 2025, at about 10 years old, and 67.1% passed first time. That is below the 71.9% for all cars first used in 2015.

The year is when the car was first used, as on its V5C log book, not the model year.
