Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. This vehicle h
The primary concern is the vehicle's structural integrity. You must verify exactly how the December 2025 failure regarding 'vehicle structure corroded to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced' was repaired. Ask for invoices from a professional welder to ensure the work was permanent and not a cosmetic patch.
As a 2.5L diesel from 2006, this vehicle will fall into a higher road tax bracket and have higher emissions charges in certain UK cities. Insurance for the L200 is generally moderate, but fuel economy will be typical for a heavy-duty pickup of this era.
Perform a thorough underbody inspection. The MOT history specifically flags corrosion on the wheel arches, the rear structure, and brake pipes (noted in 2023 and 2025). Check the condition of the brake lines for any signs of grease-covering, which was noted as an advisory in multiple tests.
This silver 2006 Mitsubishi L200 has recorded 248,359 miles. The MOT history is marked by a December 2025 failure involving structural corrosion that significantly reduced rigidity, alongside recurring advisories for brake pipe corrosion and suspension wear. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026, it did so with a long list of advisories regarding the chassis, tyres, and suspension.
The L200 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.6%, with common failure points being headlamps, suspension arms, and brake pipes.
