Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
Prioritise a review of the full service history to confirm the maintenance of the 2.5L DI-D engine over its 137,000-mile lifespan. Specifically, check for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical for this engine variant.
Negotiate the purchase price by referencing the MOT history, which shows the vehicle failed its tests in both 2024 and 2025 shortly before passing. While the specific defects are not listed in the summary, the frequency of failures on a vehicle of this age suggests a need for closer scrutiny of its current mechanical state.
As a 2.5L diesel 4x4, this vehicle will incur higher road tax and insurance premiums compared to smaller utility vehicles. Fuel economy will be typical for a heavy-duty diesel, but costs may be higher if the vehicle is used frequently in 4WD mode.
Maintenance costs for a 16-year-old vehicle with high mileage can be unpredictable. You should budget for more frequent repairs to wear-and-tear items such as brakes, suspension bushings, and clutch components.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the chassis and underbody for signs of corrosion, which is a known vulnerability for 4x4s of this age and type. Ensure the 4x4 system engages and disengages smoothly without unusual noise.
Investigate the cause of the MOT failures on 6th July 2024 and 24th June 2025. Even though the most recent test passed without defects, understanding what previously failed will highlight potential weak points in the vehicle's current condition.
This red 2010 Mitsubishi L200 has recorded 137,449 miles, which is significantly higher than the model aggregate average of 3,655 miles per year. The MOT history shows five tests since 2022, including two failures in 2024 and 2025. The most recent test on 2nd July 2025 was a pass with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data for this model indicates a generally positive reliability trend with an average MOT pass rate of 83.3%.
