2019 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D

CarHunch analysed 222 real MOT records for the 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di D. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2019 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Di-D falls short of the UK average with a 70.7% first-time pass rate against the national 80%, suggesting reliability concerns for this generation. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent at 0%, so safety isn't a red flag—but the below-average pass rate means buyers should expect more frequent repairs than typical.

At 57,447 miles median mileage, these five-year-old trucks are running around average for their age, yet they're already showing friction with an average of 0.09 failures per test and a middling carhunch score of 50. Before committing to one, ask the seller for full service history and arrange a pre-purchase inspection focused on the transmission, suspension, and engine management systems where diesels of this age commonly stumble.

What to check before buying a 2019 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.
