Our Verdict
A consistent MOT pass record makes this
Focus your attention on the suspension system. The MOT history shows a persistent pattern of wear on both upper and lower suspension arm components, which aligns with broader model data. You should verify if the current advisories, such as the deteriorated ball joint dust cover from October 2025, have been rectified.
Additionally, check for evidence of repairs regarding the central and differential oil leaks noted in the 2022 test. Request service records to see if these leaks were addressed or if they remain a point of concern. Given the vehicle's age and utility purpose, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion is also recommended.
The 2.477L diesel engine is designed for utility and towing, meaning fuel economy will be lower than a standard passenger car. Road tax will be based on the 2013 diesel emissions bracket, and insurance groups for the L200 typically reflect its size and engine capacity.
Maintenance costs are likely to be driven by the need for suspension components and tyre replacements, both of which have appeared as advisories in this vehicle's history. Regular servicing of the 2.5L engine is essential to manage the oil leaks observed in previous years.
Thoroughly inspect the front suspension, specifically the upper arm bushes and lower ball joint covers, as these have been flagged in the 2023 and 2025 MOT reports. Check the underbody for any active oil leaks around the engine and rear differential, referencing the advisories from August 2022.
Check the condition of all tyres, particularly the nearside rear and front, as worn tyres were noted in both 2022 and 2025. Finally, check the headlamps for clarity and function, as these are a common failure point across the L200 model range according to aggregate data.
This 2013 black Mitsubishi L200 has covered 116,734 miles and has a history of passing its MOTs between 2022 and 2025. While no failures are recorded in this period, there are repeated advisories regarding suspension arm wear and previous mentions of oil leaks. It represents a typical example of a high-utility diesel vehicle of this age.
The L200 has an average MOT pass rate of 79.6%, with suspension arms being one of the top three reasons for failure across the model range.
