Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The primary concern with this vehicle is the recurring mention of corrosion across multiple years (2024, 2025, and 2026). You should negotiate the price based on the likelihood of future structural repairs and the immediate need for maintenance on the front brake discs, pads, and suspension ball joint dust covers, all of which were flagged in the July 2026 test.
Request evidence of any underbody rust-proofing or chassis treatments that may have been applied to mitigate the corrosion noted in the MOT records. Ensure you verify the service history to see if the braking and suspension issues highlighted in the most recent MOT have been addressed since the pass certificate was issued.
As a 2.5L diesel, this L200 will incur higher road tax and fuel costs than a standard car, typical for a utility vehicle of this era. Insurance groups for the L200 are generally moderate, but costs will vary based on the driver's profile and the vehicle's intended use.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this specific unit due to the identified corrosion and worn braking components. Budgeting for chassis treatment and the replacement of brake discs and pads should be a priority for the new owner.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside. Specifically, check the rear leaf springs and rear axle for the corrosion noted in July 2026, and the front sub-frame and vehicle structure which were flagged as corroded in 2024. Ensure a professional assesses whether the structural rigidity is still sufficient.
Inspect the front braking system for the pitting and wear mentioned in the most recent MOT. Additionally, check the front lower suspension arm ball joint dust covers, as these were described as 'severely deteriorated' in July 2026 and will require replacement to prevent premature joint failure.
This black 2013 Mitsubishi L200 has recorded 82,440 miles, aligning closely with the model average. The MOT history is concerning due to repeated advisories regarding corrosion of the front sub-frame, rear vehicle structure, and rear axle. The most recent test in July 2026 required a re-test to resolve lighting issues and left several advisories regarding braking and suspension components.
The L200 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps and suspension arms.
