Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D (2017)
2017 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D
CarHunch analysed 258 real MOT records for the 2017 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2017 L200 Barbarian diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of 74.8%, which sits below the UK average of 80%, signalling slightly weaker reliability across this cohort. The good news is that zero vehicles recorded dangerous defects, so safety-critical failures aren't a pattern here—just more everyday wear items catching people out.
At 71,900 miles average for a seven-year-old truck, these examples have been moderately used, and with only 0.21 failures per vehicle on average, major repairs haven't been rampant. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection that flags suspension and brake components specifically, since the lower-than-average pass rate suggests these areas are where owners trip up most often.
What to check before buying a 2017 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D
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.
