Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When inspecting this L200, your primary focus should be on the drivetrain and suspension. The 2025 MOT failure specifically highlighted an excessively worn rear prop shaft U-joint; ensure this has been professionally replaced and that there is no excessive vibration or noise from the underside when driving.
Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres. The most recent MOT in June 2025 noted three tyres were worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. You should negotiate the price downwards to account for a full set of new tyres. Finally, verify that the leaf spring issues noted in 2024 have been fully rectified and that the shock absorbers (previously noted for oil misting in 2023) are no longer leaking.
As a 2.5L diesel pickup, running costs will be higher than a standard passenger car. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load and terrain, but expect typical diesel pickup consumption. This vehicle falls into a higher insurance group due to its age and utility classification.
Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate based on the condition of the 4WD system and suspension. Given the recent MOT failures regarding the prop shaft and leaf springs, you should budget for more frequent heavy-duty component replacements. Estimated annual running costs are moderate to high depending on annual mileage.
Specifically inspect the underside of the vehicle for signs of play in the prop shaft and U-joints, as this was a recent failure point. Check the leaf springs for any signs of fracturing or unevenness, referencing the failure recorded in April 2024.
Examine the tyre tread depth and wear patterns across all four wheels to ensure they are not 'worn on the edge' as previously recorded. It is also worth checking the front suspension components, specifically the track rod ends and shock absorbers, to ensure previous failures and advisories have been addressed.
This 2006 Mitsubishi L200 Double Cab has covered 113,233 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,241 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a recent failure in May 2025 involving the prop shaft joint and multiple tyres, following a 2024 failure involving suspension components and lighting. The vehicle's condition is characterised by recurring issues with consumables and chassis/suspension parts.
Aggregate data from over 16,000 Mitsubishi L200s shows a 70.9% MOT pass rate, with common failures involving headlamps, coil springs, and exhausts.
