Insight summary

Mitsubishi L200 is an uncommon model in this snapshot, with 63,552 represented vehicles and 0.15% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 76.0% from 487,438 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 46. The current pool shows an average of 105,254 miles and an average age of 11.5 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 120,212 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, lighting and suspension joints. The practical read is that the Mitsubishi L200 looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
