Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment — 43.2% of failures
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment issues account for 43.2% of MOT failures on the Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Lw. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Suspension — 43.2% of failures
Suspension issues account for 43.2% of MOT failures on the Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Lw. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Non-component advisories — 13.5% of failures
Non-component advisories issues account for 13.5% of MOT failures on the Mitsubishi L200 Warrior Lw. Non-component advisories issues are a common cause of MOT failure.
