2019 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D Auto

CarHunch analysed 155 real MOT records for the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of 67.5%, which is 12.5 points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these trucks tend to arrive at their test with unresolved issues. The good news is that dangerous defects are non-existent in this cohort, and when failures do occur they're rare (0.06 per vehicle on average), so problems tend to be minor rather than safety-critical.

At 63,362 miles median, these vehicles are showing typical mileage for their age, yet they're arriving at MOT in visibly poorer condition than most trucks—likely reflecting hard commercial or heavy-use ownership. If you're considering buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension and exhaust components (the common weak points in working diesels), and budget for at least one minor repair before its next test.

What to check before buying a 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D Auto

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
