2014 Mitsubishi L200 Trojan Dcb Di D 4x4
CarHunch analysed 257 real MOT records for the 2014 Mitsubishi L200 Trojan Dcb Di D 4x4. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2014 L200 Trojan diesel is notably unreliable by UK standards, with a first-time MOT pass rate of just 61%, well below the 80% national average. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so safety failures aren't the issue—instead, you're looking at recurring mechanical niggles that require fixing between tests.
At around 80,000 miles on the median example, these trucks are running high but not excessively for their age, yet they're averaging 0.55 failures per test, suggesting structural reliability issues rather than wear-and-tear problems. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection by a diesel specialist focusing on the engine bay and suspension, as the pattern of failures indicates these are the likely trouble spots.
What to check before buying a 2014 Mitsubishi L200 Trojan 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.
