2014 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Lb Dcb Di D 4x4

CarHunch analysed 145 real MOT records for the 2014 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Lb Dcb Di D 4x4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This L200 Barbarian is noticeably less reliable than the UK average, with only 61.4% passing their MOT first time compared to the typical 80%—that's a meaningful gap suggesting more frequent issues. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so when problems do arise, they're typically fixable rather than safety-critical.

At 86,605 miles median, these trucks are showing typical wear for their age, yet they're still averaging 0.65 failures per MOT, which points to poor build quality rather than owner neglect. If you're considering this model, budget for extra maintenance items and get a thorough pre-purchase inspection focusing on the common failure points that keep the pass rate so low.

What to check before buying a 2014 Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian Lb Dcb Di D 4x4

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.
